Heck no.....I've been laughing from my apt in Tokyo since the 1st message went up....until of course it went down with amazing style and grace :D

I cannot find a booking engine to price my trip to Ghana. Maybe I'll try AmEx travel in the morning. :(

We're not used to such things over in UA land. :eek:

The UA forum moderators may turn out to be the intellectual equivalent of Mali referees when it comes to teh B:rolleyes:X. We'll see

Perhaps we have to wait until the merger actually takes place to migrate the box to the UA forum.

We in teh UA forum have no sense of humor that we are aware of.

Not suspended yet. But we'll see.

Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I see my baby is locked, but as far as I know I haven't committed any TOS violations nor have any of the mods had a talk with me.

I didn't expect the thread to last that long.

Without violating the TOS and sbm12's warning...I think introducing teh B:rolleyes:X to the UA forum was an important experiment.

If the arirline merger goes through, someday the forums will have to merge as well. Presumably when that day comes CO fixtures such as teh BOX will have to be merged with UA fixtures like the compensation thread...so initiall feelers about how teh B:rolleyes:X fits in teh UA board seem important to understanding the future we all face.

From the CO specials e-mail a few days ago:

Take a trip to Florida this summer.
Florida is the perfect destination. From the exciting nightlife and sunny beaches of Miami to family-friendly attractions like Disney World in Orlando, Florida has what you're looking for this summer. Travel to Florida for as low as $296 round trip.*
Umm... really? Hot and humid is perfect? For some, yes. $296 is what they wanted before they instituted the "surcharge for peak flying days." :rolleyes:

Either way the gay bars make better drinks for the money!!

I told him he would ask for the bump even if it meant he gets home 3 years later. To be sure, the flights around his have plenty of room so it shouldn't be an issue. Bejeebers. Hope he gets one. I miss him but... :D

You tell him how it is!!

$300 a/i on CO metal. $40 less on AA (and with more potential for creative routings).

There are a couple of Lounge regulars over there who do show their bitterness and disappointment but they do not spew hostility into the Lounge. But few of the redtails have bothered spending much time there. They are too busy complaining elsewhere.

In The Lounge™, the atmosphere is, compared to over here, quite sedate. The crowd is older and they have mostly known each other face-to-face for many years. There is not much of the nuts and bolts traveling talk that there is here and the level of IT sophistication is light years behind what it is here. It is more like a comfortable old shoe than the sort of fast action place that this is and is paced accordingly.

As to the BOX and UA. I say just let it be for now. We will come together at some point and like any merger, joining, or partnership there will be their subgroups. I feel that many of those at UA fly for work and that is all. They are not true enthusiasts like many in the BOX are. Some fly for work but many of us fly to see friends and make the journey itself the adventure.

It's ok to be a poor traveler. However, it is never ok to travel poorly.
