My Droid and I are having an unhealthy relationship this week. First, I misplaced the phone, now I seem to have lost the charger. I could swear I put it in my backpack yesterday afternoon, but I've emptied it completely two times and looked in every nook and cranny but it's not there.:rolleyes: Forunately, I have my work Blackberry, but I'm just annoyed.

Standing in the jetway at ORD waiting for my bag, the ALB-ORD pilot was teling the ORD-ALB pilot that they had tornado and hail warnings at takeoff this morning but he didn't see anything.

In other news, the remote for the TV has 5, count 'em 5, buttons. Hello, it's 1982 calling(but not on my Droid), they want their electronics back.

That, of course, is the same, Colorado, which is Lake Travis in wide body configuration west of AUS.

some DYKWIA wench is railing against the GAs about how unconscionable it is that she is in a middle seat while others were being upgraded. Her once monthly transcon business from SEA simply was not being respected.

I'm certain it is, to the full extent that 2.5K x 2 x 12 = 60K.

Karma, but also a variation on the point CM and I were both making that WN's showing appreciation and respect to DEN's Approach controllers was not bribery or payola.

FAs are not interested in having "wild" people on board. Gone are the days of thinking that once a "wild" person gets on board that they will cool down. No one wants to take that chance.

It's been awhile since I've been a party to denying someone from boarding. It's never pretty and almost always requires police action.

Anyone know if RewardOne point redemptions are only valid on CO metal?

Alternatively, any suggestions for affordable C to AUH?

Just sleep under an overpass. You'll receive better Generalissimo elite perks. Priority placement by the trash-can fire and a complimentary glass of pruno are included.

Not a helpful post

Its amazing how by being nice to the gate agents / flight attendents / luggage people will help you get your request granted or problem solved much easier , but people never learn .

CO.com is offering me AUH-CAI-DAM/BEY-WAW/LHR-JFK as a reward routing. :cool:

Doubt my former boss is nearly as interested in those routings as I would be.
