Mexican Coca Cola is good stuff.

My favorite still is the "real" Dr. Pepper, made with cane sugar, which I used to occasionally indulge in after I discovered it was available in Houston at Central Market. The stuff is expensive, and only comes in small bottles, but wow, is it good.

It isn't that expensive here either...

Can buy Mexican Coke all the time as well, longneck bottles $1 each.

The TK crash photos are crazy scary. Hard to believe that people walked away. How long until we hear people saying that those aircraft are inherently unsafe?? ;)

Sorry to hear about your massage...I'll probably take a brief vacation from my belief of massage table pain equaling pleasure if this ever happens to me, but there's too many good eggs out there to swear off deep tissue.

Yeah, definitely yeah. I'm an excellent driver.

I also keep a separate accounting of ineligible when evaluating how well the program works for me personally.

After all, if they only run RJs or Qs on routes that I need to fly, then that obviously diminishes the value of status. Sitting in coach because there is no F is the same as sitting in coach and not getting an EUA.

I disagree. There's something to be said for routes that EUA's are just not common on. Lack of F on the aircraft, IMO, is not congruent to an F cabin that sold out.

baglady was in high heels and a short skirt working the Box's best corner in her efforts to reach 4,000. A good number of us were up past our bedtimes watching her shake it.

I am going to switch all of my flying to US - those A319/320/321s are so much more reliable.

HAHAHA, let us know how that works out for you. :)

Oh definitely. I can easily go months flying CO every week and without stepping on a 738. They very rarely appear here at ATL, and other cities that are loaded up with 735s.

But you're also known to be the box's resident RJ whore. :) A 735 must be like a widebody to you. :)

I'm going to have to remember to stop and buy some in a few weeks when I do my cross country drive. Is that against the Box's code of conduct? (Driving instead of flying).

I love driving, will you be coming near to dublin, tx?

I will be around randomly if your nearby we could have a microDO and go out to eat or something....

There is a winery just down the road as well. They are open for tours on Friday/Sat and I've been meaning to make it by there.

Absolutely not. We are flying to ELP just to drive a good chunk of West Texas (all back roads except where an interstate is necessary).

I like Pepsi better too. Costco has Messican Coke for 77 cents a bottle in 24 packs (12 oz bottles).^

If you use your Presidential Plus Card on all expenses to work toward flexible EQMs, I think this behavior could be acceptable.

My RJ whore status my be reduced this year, as work is going to have me on far more routes where I'm on mainline equipment the entire way. Kind of hard to do ATL-LAX all on RJs.

Blame the NJ legislators and not BB. Circuit City had to do it too. We now have to pay tax on iTune purchases as if that's any surprise. The stores have your address from your credit card so it automaticly populates those fields when you purchase from them. I know several people who got a nice tax bill from NJ for the furniture they purchased in North Caroline. If they didn't pay up in 30 days they'd have to pay the fines dating back to the purchase date 5 years prior.:eek:

Woke up this morning all excited for a long anticipated once in a blue moon 4 day ski trip out west. Bags are packed, BPs printed, upgrade list checked.

So what do I do? Throw out my back while putting the ski bag in the car.

Ouch that really sucks :( That load sounds better than me I throwing out my back a bit lifting an empty suit case packing for the DO.

Yes RJ's and the Q's Oh wait, the Q's aren't safe either. :rolleyes:

Believe it or not a couple of years ago when I had nothing but RJ's for a few months, when I stepped on a 735 I thought the cabin looked huge.

We could do a Dublin Dr Pepper meet :)

Nearest airport....I guess technically now DFW. I fly out of GRK or AUS, ABI used to be the best bet but no CO there now :(

They've been trying to change the name for the last 10 years, they got denied last your for copyright reasons or something like that...
