Thanks. I do miss him dearly but I too know it was for the better...

I need to go look for that, i've never seen it. Though I do try to avoid OMNI like the plague. I made one contribution in the :rolleyes: thread, but that was it.

+1. In life you will be surrounded by idiots and ignoring them is the best thing to do. The problem with the interwebs is all those idiots believe they are a) self-appointed experts on any matter they feel b) they are wronged at every turn and the world owes them. The self-entitlement is getting worse as days go by and that thread was a prime example, very few people take responsibility and sadly that's the society we live in. So, bottom line, don't let those people get under your skin. They will wear you down and yet they never wear down so it's a losing proposition.

Ok, off the soap box. rolov a mojito please.

Not a day goes by that I do not think about the most recent dog we had to put down.

How many of the 4 of you cleared??

Is it wrong that I want to skip the mojitos and go straight for the Makers Mark this morning? :rolleyes:

There are 11 seats open in front of me... If there are that many people who have to get assigned at the airport, I'm praying for an op-up.

My chances for an upgrade on the IAH-EWR 777 are slim to none too, as it's pretty much full.

What's the story on that link (upgrade using miles) coming and going like a lady of the night? It seemingly has no tie to actual R availability but it's not always available even when I can make an R reservation.

I wonder what CO's logic is with it.

No idea. I reloaded the reservation page and it showed up. Of course, there's no availability on the outbound. :rolleyes:

I'm starting to sound like chicken-little, but this will be the year that US ceases to exist the way we know it. Either it will get bought-out or it will go under. Something has to give.

Well, they are charging me $1200 to fly between PHL and BOS tomorrow... not that CO was much better ($800 RT + train fare to EWR...I'll fly or take Acela from PHL/ZFV).

I think WN's market share at PHL has plateaued, at least until the hammerhead at the end of E is built and they get more gates.

No U.S. airline is a better candidate for failure than US. Further, few international airlines (AZ, I'm looking your direction) are better candidates for failure than US.

As lousy and poorly positioned as their product is, US's financial performance hasn't been terrible.

The 10:30am 762 flight is much emptier than my 777, if I want to stand-by at the airport, I still have to pay correct?

Correct. However, I have had success with some PClub agents waiving the fee.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 3:44 pm.
