I didn't know it either. Thanks for the link. ^

Now feta, Gorgonzola, real swiss heck even regular cheddar, I'd be game.

I will bring along my Dave's insanity sauces to some extra kick

Rule one when in South Philly ordering cheese steak. Do as they do in South Philly.

How does someone exceed 70lbs of luggage?

I finally got my luggage scale and my 60" bag only weighs 13lbs on its own and i just weighed two giant shopping bags of stuff i purchased (everything from a small cooking pot to a chapstick) and all together they only came to like 30lbs.

I'd have to pack bars of lead to come close to the 70lbs limit, I might get close to the standard 50lbs limit with some serious overpacking.

It appears that they're already sold.

You go to "Aircraft Market" and the planes for sale will show up there.

Am I the only one so far with a true transcon network?

Trust me they do. I've seen bags going to Central America that boggle the mind and kill the back when lifting. Think green Army duffle bag, stuffed with god knows what, wrapped in rope for easy grabbing. Tips the scales at exactly 70 lbs. Some days we need to change the name from CO Airlines to CO Moving and Storage Company.

I have pots and pans and plates from Ikea in my bags and it's nowhere near 70lbs.. and like full size bottles of shampoo, woolite, etc.. that i plan on only really taking a travel-size bottle of (I need to divy them up). I just tossed them in there to see roughly what i was looking at.

I just, i dunno.. what could they have that weighs so much?

Prolly.. I've got a strange little route network that originates from TPA to LAX and some points between and then goes up the east coast to newark, hops across Greenland and then services some points in Europe.

Steph3n, what does your day in Philly look like on Saturday? Care to join icurhere2 and I for a cheesesteak?

I was mentioning last night that Saturday VDBs were out of question due to lunch and pre-game.

I though some of the European carriers had pretty solid transcon networks ... ;)

Some of the bags that need to be re-packed have contained food items, such as beans, rice. Others contain shoes. Mostly these passengers are transporting stuff to sell or for daily living. Books weigh alot. One fool had an anvil inside their bag and before you scratch your head wondering why, I asked and their profession was shoeing horses. Yes we have all kind of customers.
