They up-gauged my IAH-BWI plane from a 733 to a new 738 with power outlets. Somehow as a silver on an L fare I was ahead of 13 people on the waitlist. I'm not sure how that is possible, but it was. Sadly, there were ~13 others ahead of me so even with the additional 4 F seats that showed up on the plane I was still nowhere close to clearing the upgrade.

Check the flight standby list, if the names match the names on the lower part of the upgrade standby list then they are more than likely CO employees trying to get to work or home.

So I am in barnes and nobles, and there is this guy who is talking to himself. He sounds like he is watching a porno, but he is reading sporting news. I don't get it.

Happy Texas Independence Day!

I will be celebrating by undergoing the "Drinking of Texas Beer" ritual this evening. Apparently, it's the law.

Not true.

I had one experience with a plane that arrived at SFO and was struck by lightning while landing. They said that they had to duct tape something on the exterior of the plane to get it back to EWR. As we were already delayed a couple hours and were coming home from SYD I didn't mind them doing that to get the plane up in the air. I assume that they fixed it for real when the plane got to EWR, but I stopped caring too much as I made it home just fine.

I used to program in PostScript ... the printer would think for minutes before spitting out a page of output. People thought it was broken while it just sat and flashed. A few times I had my jobs lost when people power cycled the printer to clear the stuck job. :rolleyes:

I recall my dad had one of his smaller planes with duct tape, Baglady, this is the one I was thinking he could take Baglady Jr up in! :)

WWTBD time again, boys and girls. Going thru some old photo albums made me realize that I have an account with AAnother AAirline. I didn't think I ever had that AAcount. AAnywAAy, there's a little less than 5K miles in there, and thanks to Mary and the shopping thread, I leanred that Hilton will take AA at 2:1. Does The Box think it's worth it to buy enough miles to then have enough in the account to transfer tham away? AA is also running a 1500 bonus per 5K bought promo. Buy 5K, get 6500, and that will give me over 10K to move to HH and get 20K. FWIW, it's 27.50 per 1000. Opinions?
