Argh. :mad::rolleyes::mad::rolleyes::mad:

I feel completely confused and inadequate. It's amazing what starting a day off by realizing you screwed everything up will do for you.

I have been poked and prodded by mwg25 to introduce myself to y'all, given both the personal and airline-related engagements that occurred a couple of days ago :p

Not going to lie - I am vaguely daunted / intimidated by this thing y'all have going on over here, and I can't promise I'll be able to keep up with it, but I do look forward to meeting many of you, either in the NJ/NYC area next time I'm there with mwg25 at one of your shindigs, or at the We-DO in BKK :D

Regarding the *other* merger that's scheduled to happen... I know some of you have mixed feelings about it, and I've been known to exhibit UA-apologist qualities with the best of 'em... but I promise we 1Ks aren't ALL entitled... and almost none of us bites :) We just really like our E+, CR-1s, and three-class planes... but I'm sure something we can all hope for is that StarNet blocking goes the way of Ted. (rar!)

Welcome to teh Box, tjtenor4! ^^

Fares to those places already tend to be quite pricey, and not even being able to get SOME meaningful EQMs for that money will hurt.

Just now researching fares to GNV. Client has just OKed booking for May sites. It looks like I'll have to go to GNV next week because, believe it or not, one of the firm's top producing advisors in their Florida market is located in that office. Anyway, US and DL are the only two carriers to fly into GNV. US is around $300 cheaper than CO into JAX. With client paying T&E, I have to start considering these things. :rolleyes:

I just bought a bunch of CO Airlines brand stuff from the company store. They are out of stock on almost everything. :eek:

Where in GNV are you going to be? I grew up there and :rolleyes:v spent some of his formative years there. The drive from JAX to center of town is 90 minutes, mostly on smaller back roads, but it isn't all that bad. CO has made the decision, however, to treat EWR-JAX as a business market with no competition in their pricing model. That means high fares unless you have the 3-day/Saturday minimum. Flying on US into GNV has actually become rather less expensive lately and I had my wife come in on a one-way a couple weeks back. It worked out rather well. If you're willing to make the schlep, there's also JetBlue from JFK.

CO used to offer B1900 service from TPA and MIA on occasion via Gulfstream (I've actually done the MIA route) but I believed it is dead now.

LOL. I thought you might have missed it. :D alisinna knows there's no malice in my humor...he found that out at Airbus during Le Debacle du Passport Francais.

Besides, I'd break him like a twig.

I just submitted my order too. What a strange coincidence.
