If I owned a high rise building affectionately known as the "Beer Can Building" I'd surely want a 36ft tall piece of sculpture with no name that the locals call "The Exploding Chicken" to remain at my doorstep...

Who wouldn't? Why put up a sign with your company's name on it instead?

I really didn't care if I was upgraded or not, the EUA system is so obscure and finicky that I truly believe it needs to be rebuilt from the ground up.

I got upgraded on 3/4 recent AUS/IAH/IAH/AUS flights only one not was last minute purchase and EUAs had filled it up already.

I'll come to get you after I pick up icurhere2 - can you be ready to go for 1250-ish assuming he's not delayed coming in? We'll meet up after he checks in and go hit South Street.

You were too early, assuming you're looking at tomorrow's 5:45am flight. You need to be within 12 hours of the new flight and you posted that at 12:40+ out.

It is L9 right now, again assuming you are looking at CO633 for Saturday morning.

I've stayed in a couple of Starwood airport properties with those photos in the rooms. The Sheraton at IAH has them too, after its recent remodel.

anyone interested in AMv2, MD-87 at 2% over valuation with instant delivery? I am replacing it with an airbus :D

It will easily pull 800k+ on the right routes but takes some tweaking, and fully transcon ready.

you know, I remember that at IAH during CO DO, I liked it then as well, these are different photos but still of the same grain.
