I guess an anti-FT'er would go somewhere where the air carrier is out of their alliance and you can't spend/earn points on the hotels. :eek::o:rolleyes:

Let me just set the record straight. I will not be taking the train to Scranton for my honeymoon.

Thank you. That is all.

:rolleyes:

Sorry about the yob loss. That doesnt sound like too bad of a deal since you werent with them too long right?

Some of my segments cleared. One trip didn't and OPSC claims it was a non-mileage earning ticket. Though he was confused when he saw it was a paid ticket.

Welcome to the club. :)

The SQ lounge in SFO is nice, but nothing too fabulous. But it sure beats the RCC.

only one of my rebooked segments from saturday's mileage run posted as 150% (F). At least I got the 150% eqm and rdm for that. :D

oh well, I really can't complain.

Yeah, sorry to hear about the job, photog. We were already planning the move to AUS before my wife got the notice but it still sucks when you do. I'm sure you can find something.

I introduced her to FT and created a monster. Her husband can't believe what she's turned into... but we all understand :)

I think she needs to pay for your flight some. ;)

Again another reason to support her buying your ticket.

^You said it...I sooo agree w/you!

That is great -- have a good time!;)


:confused::rolleyes:There is something wrong w/the COBRA picture there. Were you a full-time employee & your company had more than 20 employees? If so, you are entitled to 18mths of COBRA, and as far as I know -- that is not usually negotiable.:rolleyes: I appreciate that you are probably better off doing on your wife's insurance, on the family plan. But, you should look at the coverages & make sure.

Good luck!

Actually after Obama got into office he changed the COBRA rules to say that if a person is fired the company has to pick up half the COBRA payments. I forget how far back this goes but it was retro active!

Do I bother hotel hopping this weekend to pick-up two free weekend stays w/ SPG?

Of course yes, hotel hop.

I knew that would be the answer.

Now I have to convince TheCanuck that it makes sense.

How long until CCP joins in on this thread? :eek:

I'm not sure how much of that posting is accurate but I have always hated dealing with GUM. The agents there continue to play games with NRSAs seats. They invented gate agent shenanigans. I have been a victim twice. :mad:

I avoid GUM at all costs.

You tell TheCanuck in advance?
