Heck, tell them to monitor their priority on the PDA site, too. But just selling the upgrades outright at the check-in window is foolish and our predictions of it not working well are coming to fruition.

The PHL mini-mini-mini DO is over.

Pleasure meeting CO 1E and CM.

In other news, I have a weird craving for a car bomb.

The mini-mini-mini DO was a resounding success. It was great to meet belynch and see CM again. Perhaps we should have a car bomb Box DO.

I've heard rumors that DL is going to concentrate on the NYC market, specifically attempting to go head to head with CO.

I know I may get some backlash from saying this, but :rolleyes: at CO for upgrading all Silvers at +24 hours and filling F. I wish they would leave a seat or two open until the gate to give Plats and Golds a chance to upgrade their companions.

I thought I saw car bombs being served behind you as I was looking down the bar.

In retrospect, I could have combined my penchant for weird drinks with my fanboy-ness of Deadliest Catch and ordered Dutch Harbor Duckfarts.

The big question for me now is should I status match the fiancee to Delta for our MAD trip that would credit in 2010? The only real benefit I see right now is that she would get a 25% mileage bonus. FWIW, her travel next year is completely unknown.

Yeah and I'm inclined to believe it. Just ask anyone who's tried to do a companion upgrade how succesful it was. For me, it really was a once in a blue moon thing.



I would imagine that they can track all the Companions that don't clear as they companions are tagged with a special code in the system. Surely they have the numbers from before and now.

I laughed the other day when I saw you used that in a normal(and I use that term loosely) thread. I was wondering what non-Boxers thought. :D

In other news, it appears we have been singled out for opprobium and ridicule in the BF Seat Wired Article Thread. Don't "they" realize that this place keeps the aimless drunkards off the rest of Teh Forum?
