I think I broke my AspireOne. I opened it up because the fan was really loud and I wanted to clean it out. Now the wireless is hosed. Not happy at all. :( :mad:

How much Scotch-Gard should I spray myself with to ward off the evils of a US 752 Y seat?

Did you buy it on an AMEX or other CC that has purchase protection?

Is it possible that you bumped the connection for the wireless antenna?

Get yourself a clean room suit, just to be sure.

Looks like someone is jumping on MBM3's idea for a new Caribbean carrier...

I've been thinking about commuter type service in West Texas. If I had the capital, I'd start it.

AA has a lot of SAABs parked at ABI, someone could use them to start a nice commuter service between the new oil and gas exploration and the wind energy, there is a lot of traffic out here these days.
not enough for new 737's or even e170s, but SAABs or Q's may work well.

AA flights to GGG (Longview, Texas) are surprisingly affordable - about half the cost of IAH-SHV. As I already have Plat in the bag, I may just start flying that route. At 250mi. per segment with BA's :rolleyes: earnings, it would still earn 1,000mi. per roundtrip. With the number of trips I'll be making up there, that would definitely help pad my BA balance over the course of the year.

I may have to start flying into Longview soon, which I think limits me to AA :(

Surprisingly, it appears to have ERJ service. I was also surprised to discover that AA operates AT7s on HOU-DFW. :eek:

Yeah, it's new and I think it has to do with capacity.

14 more people on those flights is pure $$$. I used to take the morning ones on the ERJs and they were always oversold.

Oops. My BA calculation was off. 125mi on short segments for cheap-o Y fares. Meh. :rolleyes:

Por que, why go with BA's program over AA? Is there a big difference in redemption rates on BA using AA miles?
