I'm thinking there were 2 people on the 8:15 with paid F seats that moved to the 7:00 p.m. We went out with Plus1 #2 on the list; quite grumpy. I had offered (sincerely, I might add) to switch seats as I had a fist full of drink coupons and I even mentioned doing a buy up. He grumpily said no to both. I don't *think* there were shenanigans, but there was no real transparencies, so who knows?

Since the topic has come up... I was thinking of attempting to put together an island hopper DO.

I was thinking something like:

HNL-NAN-GUM-TKK-PNI-KSA-KWA-MAJ-HNL or vice versa.

Would anyone be interested? I'm thinking of asking Scott to see if he could help set it up.

Not that busy.

What's been eating up my time recently is Becker (CPA review classes.)

Once that ball of fun is dealt with I've then got to deal with the GMAT review.

I swear, it never ends. :mad:

Oh well, at least I have my points. My precious, precious points! :D:D

Morning, box... still trying to figure out who was calling me from a 732 # when I was trying to turn off my phone's alarm. Guess it was important enough to call me at 630 in the morning, but not imp:rolleyes:rtant enough for a VM

October 15 through October 18 works for me. I already have vacation time for that. :)

I don't even know where 5 of these airport codes are. :o

Your vacation time won't jive. The island hopper is a weekly thing, IIRC. And the codes that you don't know are codes that most people don't know for a reason....they're in the middle of f-ing nowhere.

I knew that would be the answer.

Now I have to convince TheCanuck that it makes sense.

That will be one of my first stops there, whenever I go.

I know that if we end up putting together a golf outing this year, I will be commissioning :rolleyes: golf balls. I think I'll be adding a Flyertalk luggage tag to my arsenal upon the purchase of my new personal laptop or receipt of my work laptop. I think the job is getting me a Dell, so a new bag and a new tag are most certainly in order.

I am all about Penalty Box golf shirts/polos. Maybe a :rolleyes: on the breast and your handle embroidered on the sleeve.

Well, it is official. I am out of a job. My position was eliminated. Along with at least 3 others at my station. I'll let it sink in for a day, then start the search. Thanks for the well wishes. I didn't even have an appetite for dinner. Good night.

fozz, how many days would be needed for this?

CM beat me too it but the that's the basically it. The 30k link is for Personal MC, AMEX and the Biz AMEX; you can apply for all 3 but Citi does require a 6 month waiting period between each similar app (IIRC.) So for example you and the wife could apply for the MC, AMEX and Biz card (120,000 for that), wait the 6 months, and then reapply. :D
