Wore out 2, along with a visit to Miramar when I was about 8 years old. I went from wanting to be Pete Mitchell, to wanting to be the catapult shooter, to almost signing up USN for nuke power school, to finally settling in as a munitions tech for the USAF.

Thanks for proving the point, G. I stand by my reasons in my earlier post, but for some reason CO is the only board like this that I have come across. Could it be that we're NYC-area-heavy? Maybe the attitude steroetype manifests itself here since people know that doing it in person will earn themselves an asskicking?

I wouldn't even sit on the ground in one of the things the ejection seat may decide to randomly take you for a blast.

Not sure about the non-factory parts thing, but I do know that a good amount got grounded to become hangar queens and cannibals for the ones that did stay in the air.

If so, it's not the native New Yorkers like me (That's Manhattan south of 57th St;)). The people who give us the bad rep all moved here from elsewhere.:eek:

I just came to find out that one of my posts was one of the 16 involved in said fiasco...I meant what I said completely in jest. Oh, I got it, I forgot to emoticon it.

club access?
 
Stupid question for the box this am. Does Mexico count as international for lounge access?


Sitting at EWR right now. My us flight was delayed 5 hours so now I'm on co on a direct. My sbh and I are 1 and 2 on the upgrade list. Keep your fingers crossed.

And before you ridicule me for flying us I was dumping vouchers!

That actually doesn't deserve ridicule, you're right. It involves applause because you managed to redeem US vouchers.

Cashing in the vouchers wasn't too bad on us. It was for a MAJOR screw up (and that says a lot for us) so I had a direct line to tempe. Plus I was a us1 when I was dealing with this.

But to answer my question can I get into a pc as a elite plus going to Mexico?

I think the answer is Si as the web page does not mention Mexico:

*Flights between the U.S. (including Hawaii) and the Caribbean do not apply for complimentary lounge access.

I wish it was Tuesday. No CO.com specials released until tomorrow. It would be nice to know where I'm going this weekend...

I thought one post was particularly egregious. I said so and received a bizarre response in return from that poster. As Xyzzy has said in the past when these things get out of hand, I should have just reported it rather than escalating it. Lesson learned.

As an aside, can I ask what has happened to Cigarman? Have not seen him post in a LONG time.

Thanks.

I wish I would have seen all the entertaining posts before they were deleted.

I don't know...

Basic playground name calling stuff. I feel very foolish to have gotten caught up in it.
