Plus, I might as well get them in the FM list before we leave ST.

I have flown DL about six times since November of last year. The food in F was not as good as CO, but it wasn't bad. The FAs were almost all friendly, with only one I can remember that was not happy to be there. I flew exclusively on the 752 as it was a SAN - ATL transcon. Really, since you can credit miles to CO for the next few months, it's not a bad idea to try them out if they are the best option. I also like that they offer BUP fares to everyone, so it's easier to get into F for me. ^

Also, morning, Box.

I thought Dennis Leary was doing the Ford commercials? Or is that only for the F150?

Morning Box.

My "Singapore Project" culminated 18 minutes ago. I didn't get a trip to SIN out of the deal, but I managed to avoid being in Chicago today. All is not lost.

Thank goodness for no more 4am conference calls for the foreseeable future. :-:

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?) my patented usual between project lull is nowhere to be found. Onwards and upwards to the next one. :rolleyes:

The fire alarm just went off :rolleyes:

This time, it was actually "planned", with an announcement and all.

Including the voice-over work for all Discovery and History Channel programs?

But of course.

Thanks! Looking forward to trying it out. How does it work when at security and TSA wants to see it? Same thing, they scan it?

The TDC has a special barcode reader that they scan it with and then they compare to your ID. I've had mixed results with whether it has to be shown again later passing through the WTMD but there should be no reason to do so anymore as the SSSS days are over. But that doesn't mean that the TSOs won't ask anyways. Just tell them it is an electronic BP if they ask.

Did you make post 19,000 in the Box? In any event, congratulations, and I look forward to 19,000 more!

I just realized that I hit the milestone. I knew it was going to be this morning but I spaced out for a couple minutes and stopped paying attention to my post count. Sadly, this resulted in post 19,000 being placed in the ridiculously under-read SkyTeam forum. Even worse, it was actually a useful and informative post. :o :eek:

I admit fault and total shame on this front. I shall take my punishment appropriately, enduring countless drinks this evening in order to reset my brain into a more typical Box-ian state so as to not make a similar mistake in early June when post 20,000 rolls around.

And, thanks!
