Or, alternatively, you could simply eat healthier foods and avoid ingesting 6 lbs of fat each year in the first place.

PFFFGH.

That sounds like a :rolleyes: diet if I've ever heard one.

F could be totally empty on that flight, and there would only be 5-6 elites on the upgrade standby list, and they'd lie and say "F is full" or "We don't upgrade here."

"We don't upgrade here"? That's rich. I think that can be loosely translated to "We don't care and want to do the minimum necessary to keep our jobs."

Just think how many more Norwegian bus riders would be grateful to you for the increased mass of your poo. I know that if you feed me Cheerios more than once a day, I could singlehandedly change the economics of that bus fuel thing for the better.

This is making me crack up for some reason that I'm still not sure about.

It's a modification of Bill the Cat's expression.

When is Oz's show starting? I heard that he got his own show but I don't recall if a date was set.

At the time I was told that, AA's ground people had been working CO flights for about a week. In their defense, there was only one mainline CO flight back then (now there's none), so it's quite possible this particular employee hadn't worked the single CO mainline flight, or wasn't aware of the differences between it and the rest of the flights, which were all COEX. Still, it was not the right answer. But then, at that airport, everyone, from the TSA on down, tends to make up their own rules.

^ to whomever just sold that ATR-42 in AM to me. I snapped it up so quickly I didn't even bother paying attention to who was selling it. But it gave me an almost 24 hour head start on some expansion from my RDU hub I was planning — and it means the ATR-72 that's coming tomorrow can drive even more expansion.

I'm looking forward to being a launch customer for the 737-500 tomorrow morning. I'm just hoping my world domination hub ideas aren't all completely taken by the time I'm able to roll out that far.

ConciergeMike May 26, 2009 5:52 pm

I'm the launch customer of the 737-400...bout 38 hours or so.

Oh, moving up in the world? Aren't you flying a bunch of CRJs right now?

Because of my absolute hatred for the CRJ, Platinum Airways will never fly the type. We may operate a large fleet of ATRs, and Aero Hotters (whatever the Hell that thing is) but you won't find any CRJs. Right now our jets are all comfortable BAE 146-300s, with larger planes scheduled to be added to the fleet in the near future.

Bleah. 733s and 734s and 735s are so un-exotic and not exciting.

I found these two lines to have a certain need to be together. :D
