Or you can call and have them remove your OP number and add it back in.

Is this a widespread problem?

I'm going to be a shiny metal for the FIRST TIME EVER (I know this is small potatoes to y'all, but I'm really excited) after this weekend, and have currently 4 other future itineraries booked on CO, the next one being the very next weekend. I don't expect much in the EUA game, but I would like to make sure that I'm credited properly for everything. Should I plan on having to call sometime next week?

Yay Latin second declension plurals - I'm glad to know someone else uses them regularly :) though, wouldn't it be just Airbi, as in alumnus/alumni?

Whatever. I didn't do a second major in Classics for nothing. :p

It is my distinct honor and pleasure to share with you this moment, my post number 20,000 on FlyerTalk.

A little late to the party, but congratulations! Too lazy to color every letter.

I think I got "Airbii" from FT somewhere, but I'm much more a fan of calling the New England Patriots the "Flying Elvii", as per Gregg "TMQ" Easterbrook. Take a good look at the helmets and you'll see why.

Yes. Non-elite to elite changes for whatever reason just do not pick up. Drop and re-add the OP number and/or call just to be safe.

There have been scattered reports that this was fixed at some point but I just don't believe it.

George Keeley's has an unsecured WiFi hotspot within range. Delicious beer (started with the Hoppin Frog Oatmeal Stout), some more travel writing and free internet. Nothing better in life. Oh, and onion rings, too, just for something different. :D

Thanks.

I would never sink to the level of the a.net nerds. Though I would like to know why that phenomenon occurs.

it's the internet, there is no asking why.

Did you try the onion rings when you were in ACY? Tun Tavern's rings are some of the best in the biz, IMHO. You might have to introduce me to Mr. Keeley next week since I couldn't get there after the T5 Do. I'm debating whether or not to go to the W Hoboken job fair, and I'd be remiss in not crossing the river.

I am just surprised that the gas stations actually prefer cash. It is dirty, it takes up space... Actually, I mean it costs to have to get armor trucks to pick up the cash or attract robbery, etc.

Anyways, another sign of increasing CC fraud. I ordered some blu-ray discs - yea, I'm getting a blu-ray player, finally! - last night from a company I've never ordered before, familyvideo.com. And today, I got an email from the company to call them to confirm my information.

The cost of handling cash can be easily mitigated by the, ahem, flexibility that cash provides. Ask any pizza shop owner.

Yes, I totally understand that. Which is one of the reasons why "ethnic" establishments like cash. But we're talking about some name-brand gas stations here. Oh, but again, there's Hugo Chavez's brand in there too...

The majority of gas stations are individually owned and operated. They simply contract with a name-brand for product and marketing support. @:-)

Think about this. If you hide money from the government, and launder it in sub-$10,000 increments to avoid triggering bank reporting of the transaction, you become a potential threat to national security. If you're a bank, and you take billions of dollars directly from the taxpayers to shore up your cooked books, you're promoting national security, because you're "too big to fail."
