That's just Barbara Streisand

so... here's a question for ya! If I boarded a flight without having a boarding pass scanned what happens? This happened to me last week in MEM during the bad weather. After my original flight was cancelled I called OP elite line and got myself re-booked on the next flight out, but with the pandemonium going on at the gate I was not able to have my boarding pass printed and therefore not scanned. I was simply ushered aboard the flight in a rush to get the door closed. Now those miles are missing in my OP account.

The FlightAware data looks like it might have a blip on it as there is no way they could go from 40,000 feet to 17,600 in the span of a minute.

That's what I was hoping. Got a text from GF (who is not the best flyer) upon landing in MKE, and she said flight was fine (except she couldn't get her ears to pop ;) ) I'm sure I would have been told otherwise

Looks like Marriott is going to overhaul their site again. Hopefully it has significantly less suck this time. :rolleyes:

Political correctness sucks and it will end up being seen by historians as the downfall of American society. Combined with the death of common sense and the term "rugged individualism" being perverted into "I'll do whatever the hell I please without regard for others or for any sort of common good", we are now at a point where we're too busy dressing everything up and ignoring real problems. My lack of apathy sadly cannot compensate for the millions of others who have stopped caring.

I was on the homepage the other night and my better half walked by. She saw the screen and said, "Wow, that's one of the worst websites I've ever seen". Can't really disagree with her.

I don't know...I'm usually quite interested in "opportunities for upgrade" at hotels. :p

I must be getting shaky on the mouse, the closest I could come to anything was 7 miles.

colpuck May 20, 2010 2:07 pm

I think I am getting to them.


Sigh. [colpuck] wrote, quite specifically and hardly open to interpretation, that no could "contest" your assertion that UA brings negative value.

I simply responded that obviously Smisek himself and the CO board would disagree with [colpuck]. If those (rather important in the overall scheme of things) people think that the merger brings positive value to CO, then by definition those people would "contest" your assertion.

Whether or not the boards can "do no wrong" has zero to do with [colpuck] assertion and my counter. All it was was a counter to your assertion.

And that's all I've got to say about that. It's a pathetically simple statement but [colpuck] seem incapable of grasping it.

I am afraid he would need superhuman powers.

If this morning's Daily Hublet sports section is any indication, you won't be. Pictures of Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace but no McCoy, and an article that said, in part, that Colt McCoy's job is to hold the clipboard and keep his eyes and ears open.

As the rookie's job should be. Shut up, sit down, absorb info.

OK, it's decision time. Do I stress out about getting to LIT and trying to make the 6:10 or just resign myself to being here another night and rebook for tomorrow morning? There's plenty of availability on the direct LIT-EWR at 7:00am tomorrow. The manager is giving no indication that she will be available any earlier than 4:00.
