That just reminded me about a letter to in Bicycle magazine along time ago. Some wrote a letter saying wondering if they'd be much safer driving in their car if they wore their bike helmet going to where ever they were riding. The editor response was something like "You'd be even safer if you just stayed in you driveway and not start the engine and went 'vroom vroom' vroom."

Nice! I was in the Air Force with a guy who would wear his Kevlar helmet and gas mask while driving down the Garden State Parkway, just for fun. He loved to see what peoples' reactions would be. I still have my helmet and mask, come to think of it. Maybe on April Fool's.

Hrm, CO54 went from Y9 this morning to Y0 on seatcounter. Why would that be? A bunch of people buying last minute Y fare?

wow CO is having IT issues, I wonder if they oursourced their IT to IB!

Or maybe CO uses my servers, we are having a few issues since a planned upgrade but nothing huge :D

Mile & Less gets knocked a lot by BD adherents, but compared to NonePass, it's a decent program. 90K for a biz award U.S.---->Europe is a good thing, IMO...

Once Diamond Club disappears, there will be nothing remotely close in terms of FFP value per $ spent.

I haven't called the CO desk yet, but our flight coming back from CDG (which is on AF to DET, then NW to IAH) has had a schedule change and we'll now misconnect. The later flight to IAH only has one F seat available right now. Other options would be CO BF through EWR, DL through ATL. WWTBD?

We need WWTBD bracelets. When people ask if they are WWJD bracelets, just say that The Penalty Box is a deity unto itself.
