You know there's an issue when SeatGuru says there are no good seats (but 10 borderline seats) in F. It feels constrained even with 4-5 more inches of pitch than most other domestic aircraft.

At the same time it's problematic when pilots announce they are packing (even under an acronym).

Unfortunately, the award gods have provided us with a 300 EWR-AMS in September and it appears right now that I have no way around it. I will however, not stop looking for alternatives.

I described myself as about the dimensions of an NFL cornerback the other day - was lost on the SO who knows nothing about sports.

Good to avoid CVG - it's like the hublet in that it's largely a RJ farm. Hope your VDB potential goes well too.

I would presume that the SO does not need a football reference to envision any of your dimensions.

Given your weight loss, I'd agree with a ballpark CB estimate for you.

Some Googling tells me that the LB position (all variants of) runs an average of 6'1.67" and 240 lbs. At 6'3.25", I'd be happy at 250.

I would trade Houston's summer for a south Florida summer, if those were my only choices.

No bump on us. Oh well.
