I was also thinking about a system where people could report their results, but I think that is probably far less useful.

Good morning box. Why does the USFG have such a complicated application process?

I can't believe that the combination of paid F and 1Ks or higher flying Tuesday PHL-ORD is greater than 20, but apparently it is. On the other hand, E+ is wide open on my flight today.

Re: Flybys.
The most harrowing flyby that I ever witnessed on video was a B-52 clearing a ridge at 30 feet, and then later at 3 feet. A still photographer, IIRC, was taking pictures of the plane for some reason and had to run out of the way when it was coming at him. The pilot was a bad hot dogger and other co-pilots refused to fly with him again. I think the next time he flew was in an air show where he crashed the plane. Details, but no video. I searched for a while and only found this (WVM) that shows the 30 foot pass, but freeze at the 3 foot pass (it leads with the crash, though, so it's ~30 seconds in). |

Then by your logic you wouldn't mind flying NK once a year. :D
Here's the skinny. While I'm sure icuhere2 is a nice guy, if he honestly perceived the value of the M+S coupon to be $20 then he would have either used it or accounted for it as a higher value. But, he didn't. Because the real value is negligible. To his credit, he did also tip cash so he's not on my :rolleyes: list. Irony of all ironies, I was just fishing for something in my satchel and came across a couple M+S $20 coupons that I apparently picked-up at the DCA P(oop) Club during one of my recent visits and had completely forgot they were there. So, for me, (and I'm sure most people) the real value of a M+S gift cert is about .01. I must have missed the post where he discussed tipping someone with an M+S coupon, but I sure hope he left at least a 15% cash tip along with the coupon. |
real estate smealistate.....:rolleyes: and great dancing all at same time!

I used a bunch of those certs this year, as I actually like M+S but find it a bit overpriced for what it is without the coupon, but in no way did I place an actual value of $20 on them when giving them away to friends, etc.

I have brought my usual reasoned prose to the CO/UA merger thread.

Apparently AA 49 had to stop at REK due to fumes in the cabin. Reportedly it only had 133 pax and 12 crew on the 763. Seems like a light load.
