That ERJ photo-chop was my idea...glad to see someone could do it. I can fix photos decently, but I haven't yet risen to the level of doctoring.

fozz - I listened to the first 2 episodes of your podcast - nicely done! I found it to be very informative for those of us who do not follow the happening of other airlines/alliances.

Thanks! We just recorded episode 3 so that should be up in a few days. I missed out on the second thanks to a work crisis. :mad:

Mine's creeping up towards $900. I plan to sandbag CO with my TravelBank funds the next time there's a mistake fare. :D

How in the world do you guys get such sizeable balances?!?! Mine is at $90 and I've used <$100 in the past.

Will you consider unlimited beers and other alcohol in the PC and at CO DOs for life as an alternative? ;)

Premium alcohol and wines are acceptable.

BTW, I am keeping this thing on my radar but can't commit because the first week of every month is especially busy for me. What is the Bolt bus schedule that would connect with the party flight? I presume that the party will be in the coach cabin and any EUAs will be refused. Is that so?

Yup...the R1. Should be $7 o/w or ~$12 r/t with the Friday outbound. I might decline the upgrade if we have enough people in the exit rows to ensure that there is no chance of getting out of the plane in case of emergency. :p

Not really for transcons. I'm surprised they canceled it rather than planning a tech stop. Must've been way undersold and they accommodated everyone with JFK connections, but if they strand passengers and claim "weather" and they brought that to me as a passenger I'd be pissed.

I can get you a job in NYC with very little difficulty, I think. I've spent 10 years working in the legal vertical on the infrastructure and DR/BC side of the house. I am independent now, but have plenty of contacts in the industry that I could get you hooked up with.

Great googly moogly I have a headache.

I've been slammed at work (not in a good way) this a.m., as evidenced by me not being on FT for my usual a.m. drinking coffee and postings. And somehow I missed that we're supposed to get almost a foot of snow tomorrow in the NY metro area. :mad:

This day can't end fast enough.

Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" to everyone.

If it were only that easy for me this time around.

I have been a member since the TravelClub started, have never redeemed, book one-ways in markets served by WN or B6 (where One-Ways are half what the roundtrip costs), and book all travel for my immediate family and some friends through my CO.com account.

So did I. I looked at AccuWeather last night for the overnight temps before my flight on Monday and saw that they were thinking a little over 3".

The roof of The Box appears to be leaking. There's some OMNI dripping in. :D

Good morning (afternoon?) belynch. I guess that you are off to get the Tylenol bottle. Just remember, no alcohol allowed into your system for six hours after taking that stuff. :td:

There is no longer any schadenfreude for me about weather difficulties in the north as there is for many of the snowbirds and others who have migrated down. Maybe it is because I need to go up there every month for a week or two, winter and summer.

Try to stay warm and dry.

Yes, the market for me in NYC is huge and I appreciate your validation of the same. Same for Mrs. MBM3 as she could work from her firm's headquarters there, but NYC is just not our cup of tea for living anymore. Hard to give up a nice yard and house that are affordable and convenient to the things we love to do.

For now I will enjoy the short commute to my home office and the long commute to GVA.

They already have reduced output and the price still is sliding.
