pda.continental.com/info will show you unassigned seats, and seatcounter.com will show how many are left for sale in each bucket.

Thanks, CM. Bump gods will not be good to me, plenty of seat availability :(:td:

IF I do that it will only be for the FM line and new airline credit. :)

Morning Box. I am excited about my one-day turn in IAH this weekend to see my mom pre-mother's day! Looking forward though more to the run to BRU with my Aunt and future MR if I have anything to do with it!!!

Hello Box--First post to the box!!

Trying to find reasons to travel during the double EQM's but having difficulty with work schedules. Oh well.

I've had an interesting morning so far. I sit down and start clearing my VM's. Am returning a call from a Sr. Exec in our company and my chair breaks. Just flat out falls apart. I end up on the floor. Amazingly, I maintain my composure on the phone.

I have a crowd of people in my office about 3 seconds later and the exec on the other line says "what the heck just happened."

Yadda yadda yadda. Looks like I'm getting a new chair.

(Too bad, because I really wanted a new copier)

In other news, I listened to Airborne Toxic Event last night on my drive home, after we talked about them in the box the other day. I have to say, giving the album a third pass, I now really like (most of) it.

Aloha and welcome. Don't bother trying to sell crazy here, we're all stocked up.

Before we start the hazing, how long have you been lurking? :o

we're at mm 79 already on the tpke.

ETA. they should have done a better job of checking tickets. Two slipped though

It's hard to imagine that between the passengers & the ticket-taker -- that 2 passengers slipped through the cracks -- I guess there were too many caffeine-deficient people this morning! It's different on the train (esp. from Penn Sta-NY), where there aren't always announcements & the conductor doesn't collect tkts until you're well into the trip!

Speak for yourself, I always buy more crazy....ok just trying to avoid going to mow but every minute I avoid means it gets HOTTER outside in this festering pit of humidity and heat this week.

Define "worst" - there are indeed airlines I wouldn't get on. I would just be profoundly ticked if I had to board a NK flight.

Wow - this is unbelievable! At their HQ, there is no receptionist, they removed 1/3 of the light bulbs to save money and employees take out their own trash!? :eek: And the CEO seems quite proud of this...

Baldanza did come from US directly to NK. Operations can be de-bundled as well.

Wow! The 2010 Ford Fusion is actually decent looking from the photos I've seen.

Ford and GM both did a decent job with their cars in that segment. Now Chrysler ...

If fly Spirit, I think I will do like SBM12 and do FLL to TPA!

Make the pain short?

What a njub! Start hazing.

((spoken by the guy with at least 6 posts to the box ;) ))

Good morning, box. My parents took my dogs on vacation to Canada for three weeks this morning. They have a better life than I do.

... it's Canada.

Did you ever propose to the significant dergon? (sorry if I missed that post. I think I only remember hearing you had acquired the hardware.)

People get on the wrong NJ Transit trains all the time even when they make repeated annoucement that it the express train to Trenton and it's not stopping at certain stops.
