That was a good one. Lord only knows why the UA forum borders a collective state of neuroticness on good day. :rolleyes:

The seat was very uncomfortable, and at a sharp angle. There was this weird metal protrusion that went right into my thighs, creating a stabbing pain. The seat is very low to the ground in the recline position, so anytime someone walks by it sounds like a parade.

Catering was "meh" and not nearly as good as LH's true C.

IFE was little digi players, which was fine but the selection was very limited.

The Canuck would like to add "ugh. I don't have anything to say about that." :rolleyes:

That and the EWR - FRA flights left in the late afternoon (like 430) so not conducive to sleeping. We were zombies wandering around FRA waiting for our connection.

Oh, and LH ground services at EWR suck. But access to the BA lounge was nice.

I love maintenance windows. I especially love them when "no downtime expected" turns in to 45 minutes of the whole thing being down. :rolleyes:

Looks like the database crashed. I had Whataburger for dinner. That's what made it crash.

First upgrade ever for me on a 735. :eek:

It happened 24.5 hrs before the flight...

I had the Peppercorn Ranch Whatachicken the other day... Pretty tasty.

P.S. - database crashes suck.

FT may be one of the most poorly run sites on the Internet. :rolleyes:

Spent an hour out in the snow and ice without a coat - took care of a family that blew past me on the interstate while snow and ice were falling, then shortly thereafter backed off the interstate into a tree at highway speed. Fortunately, they all walked away but they were still stuck in the car against the tree / embankment until I opened two of the doors and pulled the kid out.

Glad everybody is fine! You are a hero now! And what you will get as a reward now is probably a weekend home with the flu... :rolleyes:

Who would pay for that? :confused:

I *think* I had that same set up on an FM flight PVG to XMN last year.

At meal service, the FA asked/told me "You don't want this do you." I pled guilty as charged.
