One of the other DO's took place in the hangar.

Interesting info that came my way that I thought was worthy of posting. It's innocent by itself, and I don't know anything else past that.

I spotted Chimay at our neighborhood Fiesta... I may break into karaoke now.

I'm always up for a SJU/STT trip.

There's a sizeable flight standby list as well. I'm off to the gate to try my bump-luck.

Ouch! I know there's at least one big conference going on this weekend in New Orleans — my partner was originally supposed to be there right now for it, but his employer canceled his attendance as part of their budget chopping that's been going on lately.

My IAH-MSY flight on Monday is not looking too full. And the EUA for that one came five days out.

The Q&A session on Saturday afternoon and barbecue that evening were in the hangar, with a 752 open for us to play on.

Sounds like my flight to ORD. I know I will be sitting in Y. That's okay, am now just hoping for a bump like you are. Although I'm not sure what they would do when all flights are zero'd out for the rest of the day.

They will confirm you on the next available flight and put you on the standby list for the flights immediately succeeding your original one.

MRI results: no tear. Knee is fine and my son is good to go back to playing.
He does have some inflamation and will get some PT.

O' Tay! Everyone being sauced up would make it easier to make teams to match the situation of the actual game. :D

They can also "force" you onto the next flight leaving, if they so desired. It's not always done because of the possibility of overselling the next one, but you might be able to talk your way onto it and then take another bump. :D

He usually speaks common sense. What's he going on about?
