Such an observation is very often an excellent judge of ethnic restaurant quality.

Don't people say the same thing about colonic irrigation therapy?

Being proactive requires thinking, and we all know what short supply that's in nowadays.

This isn't a lack of thinking. It's more like a lack of not wanting to do more than the minimum required to keep one's job.

Typical Luftwaffe BS. I used to fight with them on seat assignments all the time. It's complete nonsense.

Tell them you are :-: Gold, to stop with the shenanigans, and just assign the seat. If you don't meet the "ideal German standard" for occupying the seat, it can be reassigned at the flughafen.

Now, they say it is being held for checkin because the flight is tomorrow, but I can do a telephone checkin tomorrow morning and try to snag it. Can't do online checkin because it was booked through a partner and has multiple carriers. Can you say huge :rolleyes:?

Jeff Smisek is rumored to be CEO and Chairman in 2 years, proof Tilton just wants the parachute.

The cheap YYC fare in MR Deals involves a 1300-mile segment on a CR7. Uh, let me think about that.

No.

! His desire for a parachute and nothing more has been an open secret for how many years now? I think it's been out there about as long, if not longer, than the Ricky Martin speculation.

The guy running the airline wants a parachute... What does that say for the rest of the company? Isn't the captain supposed to go down with the ship?
