I ordered some FT luggage tags and in my package they included two Avis coupons, complete with an FT AWD number. So far I haven't been able to make any use of it as the AWD and coupons don't seem to affect the price here in SAN, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.

I stay out of 9 out of 10 of those things but I got dragged in by some boxers yesterday. I figured I'd try and be the voice of reason. I should have taken my own advice and not tried to fight crazy. :rolleyes:

The seat map is filling up pretty good, but the numbers on SeatCounter are not making an op-up look very likely. :(

What, the overhead bins? :) Those might be very difficult to squeeze in to on a 764.

Bummer. :( The EWR-IAH 777 last Saturday had a bunch of Silver upgrades so I thought you'd have a chance. I guess Friday morning and the reverse routing are not as upgrade friendly. At least you should have AVOD in the back...

There's a big difference between a great candidate to fail and actually failing. I think AZ is firmly entrenched in the first category.

I got those when I ordered my FT tags as well - I haven't tried to use them to see what rates were available.

This true, AZ has Been failing for the last 3 years at least.

I tried the voice of reason and then I got sidetracked. That zillion mile thing was just the cincher for me.

Sorry to hear about your dog, MBM3.

I would put a much longer time horizon on that estimate ...

Agreed...I think they are many miles from walking out of the woods, but given that the Italian government has been taken at least partially out of the equation, I also would not rule out things improving somewhat...just not in the near future.

In a slightly related note, I keep a second folder in My FT of historically important threads or threads that contain what I use as reference material. Some of the contents of that folder, in the interest of disclosure, are some threads in which I feel I well and thoroughly defeated someone intellectually while managing to color within the lines. <pats self on back, hopes no one notices> In that folder is the old OMNI thread about the stripping flight attendant with the video of her in the cockpit. Wasn't she Air One? That might be a great way to drive revenue...stripper poles in C and F.

I think the Stink Shield should be raised for that thread.

Edit: Guess it already has :o

As if it wasn't obvious, being repeatedly told that I work for CO made me blow my stack a little.

Learn from my mistakes - it is not worth raising your blood pressure over someone with an odd perspective.

HootersAir goes to London?

I just saw this and I am sorry as well. :( I hated having to put my childhood dog to sleep, even though I know it was better for him.
