A few mins later she realizes i'm a 1K and told me there would be no charge since i was on a higher fare and since there was space.

That would never happen with CO. At the end of the day, UA does take care of it's elites in the customer service realm. That is something CO used to be very good about when Gordo was around, but over the years they've taken a "Ze Rules are ze Rules" approach.

I have had CO do this. This year. The changed segment was not a Y/B/A fare.

The other half bought me the video as part of my Care Package before she left me to the heat and barnyard squalor. Haven't opened it (5 parts, 232 min), but it says it traces the confrontations from Coronado to Wounded Knee. Doesn't say where it first aired, though.

I have not heard of said series, but my first thought upon reading this was that any series that purports to cover 350 years in 232 minutes is probably giving someone or something a major shaft, especially when dealing with that time period.

Got to leave for work and cannot expound further right now, but I will do so first chance I get.

Goto www.dc-8jet.com to see which ones are active. There still are a couple of PAX DC-8's out there .

From that site: "of the 918 Boeing 707/720 commercial aircraft that were built (military versions not included) there are only 17 of these aircraft that are still in active airline service (cargo/passenger) in comparison to 69 DC-8s." Stunning.

Also on a link on the site to http://--www.airlinerlist.com/, looks like FedEx still has around 25 (of 62) 727's still active.

It's scary to think my life should be in any more/less jeopardy depending on whether my pilot gave a controller a gift certificate to Starbucks.

My parents are in town - staying in the guest room. I woke up this morning and it was 68 degrees in our house - thanks mom. They know they are bad and tend to leave a little cash to cover their damage.^

Did you get the puppy situation covered? I can help you in the evenings if you need.

:D Plus1 does indeed still have his Comm 64 and other misc. accouterments. He used to say he had Comm 64 and I had FT. Now he has both :D
