fwiw, the CO traveling public based in this area is so obsessed with EWR that it would fall off their radar the second they closed their browser.

Hmm... on an unrelated note, maybe I should open a shop selling S+M supplies.

I've never missed one either (either way). A flight attendant friend sent me this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ti3fcZhMsxM a bit long but fun

Ive got an orphaned 35,000 United Miles. How many SPG would they be worth over in CC?

So let me make sure I understand the PenaltyBox FM methodology.

I get the last three digits of the plane registration from the Flight Status information and check that against Airliners.net, so plane #151 becomes N76151 (762).

Do we input the full plane type (i.e. - Boeing 767-224/ER) or just 767-200?

You were hoping for this, correct? So I guess, congratulations? :)

Another thing that would be interesting to the FM would be the fare class paid. How could we incorporate that?

I'm thinking that if you do the best you can and someone starts giving you :rolleyes: over it, just :rolleyes: them back and laugh about it.

The top part about the tail number, yes. The bottom part: I've only seen everyone else go as far as the type and series. I would leave it as 767-200.

I just applied completely on a lark to try something new (technical writing) at Booz Allen Hamilton. Anyone got friends there?

I just tried to sell my company's services to a new client for the first time. Very interesting experience. Of course, the feed back was I sound great but too $$, so I'll see.

... :rolleyes:

In other news, if rolov isn't too busy getting his haircut in the VS lounge, he might appreciate this.

Ugh.:rolleyes: 7 degrees here. And I have my telltale sign of a cold coming on - sore throat. I'm drinking medicinal wine.

IAH-JFK was the same — and may have been an easier upgrade.

I've still not flown into LGA. Usually I'm headed to a hotel in Midtown or Lower Manhattan on public transit, and the train options from EWR just seem easier to deal with.

:confused:

Even though I technically live closer to LGA than PHL by road miles, The thought of dealing with :rolleyes: and the delays of getting to LGA, even going around to the GWB, far outweighs the :rolleyes: of driving through center city Philly.

Yep, that's how to determine the registration number.

I'd list it as 767-200ER, simply because Boeing does distinguish the ER as a separate type from the 767-200. Within the CO fleet, all the 767s are ER series planes, but there is always the possibility someone will scrounge up an old 767-200 (non-ER) on another airline. Within the ERJs and 739s, CO operates different variants, so the ER (or XR/LR/EP for the ERJ) is relevant.
