I was wrong. :(

I never understand how people find their way around Atlanta with all the Peachtrees.

I don't want to bring this up in the photo thread but I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience with giving photo permission to nowpublic.com? They just asked about a JetBlue photo I have but I'm reluctant to do it mainly because it's one of those sites you have to get an account just so they can use your photo. I find that weird for some reason.

I had the same question a few weeks ago here in The Box and sdm1130 said this.

Ill never forget the first time I was in atl and askd. For directions. Follow peachtree until u get to peachtree and turn around on peachtree

It seems that from time to time, certain threads or subjects crop up in this forum that are deserving of "special" mention. By special, I'm referring to certain innate qualities, namely: ingominy, infamy, or heresy. These threads or posts are almost guaranteed to set the board astir, to bring out the cheerleaders and malcontents alike, to spice up the CO Forum or send it perilously close to the depths of depravity. Such posts, and those of us who make them, deserve a special home for all the hard work put into making the CO Board a more colorful place. Accordingly, I propose that the CO Forum have a home for all such tangential discursions, where our more primal posting instincts may be satisfied (See also, Airliners.net).

Before you can ask: "The Penalty Box, what? :confused:, oh...," please allow me to touch lightly on the sort of fodder appropriate for this FT equivalent of a compost heap, (or our collective CO subconscious, if you will). Though this is intended to be a free-form thread for all manner of discursions and collegial banter (See e.g., The Delta Forum Lounge Thread), certain topics are especially appropriate to The Penalty Box. Posting regarding any of the following topics on the CO Forum should serve to place the poster on notice that he or she may be just the sort of individual this thread was intended to accommodate:

1. Discussion of any prospective CO/UA merger. Please note that discussion of any aspect of the imminent ConUniHound merger is especially encouraged here.

2. Discussion of the minute details of NW's Golden Share (you know who you are).

3. Speculation (unsubstantiated or otherwise) regarding CO's long-overdue overhaul of the BusinessFirst cabin.

4. WURS Syndrome (Wholly Unsubstantiated Route Speculation)

5. Audacious and Unmitigated Flatulence. See also, Stink Shield and TATL Sewage Rivers.

6. Any thread containing the words "EWR/Newark" and "Nightmare" in the title. In fact, any thread containing just the word "Nightmare" in the title.

7. Discussion of calzones, or the relative merits thereof (may they rest in peace).

8. Spurious accusations (and the odd substantiated one) regarding flagrant and abominable failures of the EUA system.

9. Drunken posting (how could I have forgotten. Thank you, J.Edward :) )

10. Keeping tally of the year's most intriguing "C"-word (that's "compensation") threads.

The list above is by no means intended to be exhaustive. Please feel free to add to the gravitas and overall substance of the CO Forum by making this thread your personal canvas. As with any thread on FT, the FT TOS would obviously apply. Lastly, please remember our motto: "Anything the DL Forum can do, we can do better." :D

I shall leave you all to it, then...

Sincerely,

Anglo Large Clawed Otter

I thought they recently changed that since that was a sticking point. As far as I can remember, when they increased the H/K/... fees, they made them refundable.

My bad. You're sortof right and sortof wrong.

The fee is refundable but you have to pay the redeposit fee. So it is fully refundable for platinums and less $150 for everyone else.

But I'll try to find the old thread and confirm.

Maybe that was it. I just remember you're not out the $$ if you cancel, which is better than it used to be.

I did a quick search for the thread with no luck, but i'm also working on something else so don't have too much time to search.

I asked the agent and she seemed to think I would have no problems. ;)

I thought that was only a NJ thing. In our area we have a 9th Ave, N 9th St, E 9th St and none of these damn people know which one they live on when they call 9-1-1 on their disconnected cell phone. :mad:

People around me don't even know what town they live in. Just because you have a Princeton mailing address doesn't mean you live anywhere near Princeton. One person I use to work with was shocked, angry to find out he actually lived in Franklin Twp, Somerset County with a crap school system. The other end of the town has gang violence issues too.

It's a good article and a harmless relavent photo so I supposed I can give them permission.

My quasi-pointless Christmas itinerary that I reaaly want to book is $5 more for 433 more EQM. I'm very much interested in doing something different.

Cool, I'm not losing my mind. Since I'm plat, it is refundable and that's all that really matters. :D

I'm usually booked for Christmas by 3/1 - I get it out of the way when all the flights are open.

Congrats! It's a good feeling, isn't it? I had my first B-up two weeks ago. Of course it makes me wish that the old H fares had been H-ups all along, especially since a couple of times I missed EUAs on H fares between IAH and MSP, back when I was practically living in the Twin Cities.
