Again - no disagreement there. I believe I coined the term misSTEAK. :D

I just wish airlines would design menus around the limitations of galleys. Steamed hams should be limited to Simpsons gags and nowhere else.

Although, CO does make a mean steamed ham.

I think Weatherboy has a valid point to address the point that CO's first class product does not live up to what they market.. Given the premium they charge - and he pays - for first class than I think he should have all the right to express his displeasure. I too think the food up front is getting borderline nasty, but I do not complain about it as I typically do not pay for the first class seat.

Maybe it can be discussed at the DO .

You, or your employer, are paying one way of the other, so if it's nasty in the front it's your right to complain regardless of how you got up there. @:-) :D

Dude, I was doing research for one of my profs in undergrad. I was the master of the card and microfilm! Ugghhh, if I could count the hours spent in the basement of the library!

During my undergrad years (1992-1996) our library catalog was computerized, and we shared a network with the two local libraries and the community college library in town. Of course you had to be on a terminal linked to the central mainframe to browse the catalog. We thought that was so high tech. Then my senior year my college drastically upgraded its systems, and resulting in a library catalog that was accessible via the Web.

I worked in the library on campus, and we did maintain a card catalog, even with the computerized catalog. It was our backup, because there were times that the BARRCat system would go down. When that happened, the circulation desk where I worked was crazy, because we'd have to go behind the desk to pull drawers of cards out for people to use, since the card catalog was no longer out in the public area of the library.

A few years ago I was back on campus for a class reunion, and the old card catalog was gone for good. The cabinets had been divided, and were now topped with glass and used as end tables and coffee tables in the reading areas of the library.

Based on FT, I must be the only happy customer Chase has, who has never had a problem with them.

Pretty much, yeah. I really have to try that spot, but it can't be done alone. Maybe when ALCO comes to PHL.

Does the PHL Public Library have OAG Worldwide Editions stretching back to 1981? If so, I'll aim for PHL over DCA. Could work in the SS United States, some OAGs, Cheese-Steaks, Spotting, and Liberty Bell. Sounds like a good trip.

I don't think this is limited to a FT phenomenon. Several coworkers despise Chase more than I do.

I don't see the word beer mentioned anywhere in there. How can it be a good trip? :p

I thought that was just assumed. I mean, I am flying to the Holy Land of Beer in a few weeks to sample the world's finest trappist ales. Oh yeah, I'm going for the company, too. :p

I just see it on here all the time but haven't heard any real complaints from friends and family I know from other places about them. Not saying they're great; they've just never given me any reason to be upset with them.

I too have been very happy with Chase. When my bag was stolen earlier this year that happily replaced my PC passes and the discount coupons.

When I got the Presidential card I was given a direct number in SA to contact about getting issues resovled.

I've had not issues with Chase so far myself.

Ok I know CO needs to cover the cost of flying around empty 737's after a likely sold out flight, but $672 for EWR-MSY is a bit steep for Jazz Fest weekends. They should just fess up that they need a larger plane than a 735 currently scheduled as they always need larger aircraft for those weekends. Oh if anyone cares the music line-up has been released, much earlier than normal.

I just called to switch to the Presidential, and it was surprisingly hassle-free.

There is no better way to view FT - especially if spending time in The Box.
