Had that happened to me: Them: "You must not fly in F very often." Me: (complete lie just for fun): "Actually, I'm a CO zillion-miler and I get upgraded almost every time I fly, and with that much flying comes the knowledge that this is a reduced-service flight. Enjoy your pretzels."

You have seen man v food/wild/bear... whatever on TV.
We need to have a box v. cart DO. Every one from the box books the ultimate party flight. Doesn't need to be a great destination, the flight will be the destination. The objective, empty all of the bar carts on the plane. Towers of minis, walls of beer cans, empty bottles of wine. |

Maybe we should start a BOB program for non-meal flights from FLL. Chili's Cheeseburger or Chicken Ranch for the low, low price of $14.75 (Airline Mogul prices) :p:D:rolleyes:

Thanks for the tip....I didn't see it until I left the PC but I'll remember it for next time. I actually googled Jennifer Hudson and found a recent picture and it turns out my instincts were right and it was her. She gathered her things and left in a hurry when they announced boarding for EWR - GRU. Can your crystal ball confirm she was on that flight??
My crystal ball says check later, after 9pm. I see if I can find out any information but I can't check the records of that flight until I'm at work. Feel better! ;) |
One Ply? Oh my!
Since I started traveling frequently for work several years ago, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with airline clubs. I don’t drink (much) while traveling for work, so the bar isn’t really a big deal. Yes, the quiet atmosphere of a club is nice, but an under-utilized gate can usually accomplish the same effect. Yes, access to an airline lounge is nice, but I’m really not sure it’s worth the several hundreds of dollars they usually command.
When I don’t have a current Club membership there is always one thing that has me thinking it’s time to renew: the bathrooms. Let’s face it, after traversing the skies and loading up on cheese soup, not dogs, and the mushroom concoction du jour – the bowels get restless. I’m not a fan of making a deposit in public restrooms, so having access to the somewhat quiet sanctity of a club restroom has a unique value assigned to it. One that I apparently think so highly of, I’m willing to shell out for a club membership to access. I have to say, however, PClub bathrooms are perhaps well set-up as Pee Clubs, but number two is obviously second on their list. Ever wonder why bathroom stalls in PClubs look like a ticker-tape parade? It’s because the one-ply toilet paper is so weak that it can’t even support its own weight in trying to advance the roll. Trying to bring-forth a square yields nothing more than little shreds of toilet paper. I often find myself reaching my hand all the way up into the paper dispensing device (why are they locked? I don’t think anyone that can afford a membership will be absconding with your toilet paper…) and urging the roll forward. This is not a first class bathroom experience. In fact, it down-right stinks. I have to say, the shredding nature of the one-ply is probably its best feature. It’s almost a self-defense mechanism against actually using it for its designated purpose. If you can manage to get a decent amount of PClub TP the sensation it gives you after a hearty wipe is nothing short of painful. Thanks CO, but I really don’t need my a$s exfoliated. And of course, the church pew nature of CO Y just exacerbates the problem. Please CO. Hook a brother up. Let’s at least get a 2 ply paper in the PClubs. Restore my dignity and faith in humanity. Or, stock more USATodays. Thank you. |

I was really tempted to post that in the general forum. But was afraid it would create a :rolleyes: storm.
Glad you guys enjoyed. |

Or, stock more USATodays. Thank you. In all seriousness, many P Club bathrooms do, indeed, have high quality toilet paper. DCA comes to mind, as does CLE (usually). EWR does not, IIRC. I think that IAH C South had decent tp the last time that I made use of it - can't recall what type is present in IAH E. |
What a crazy Sunday night at SFO. Every flight was totally full, left rev-standbys at the gate, along with lots of non-revs.
Why is it that families with young children do not pre-book held seats? I had a family that pre-booked emergency row seating and couldn't understand why the system kicked them out when they attempted to check in. This same mother repeatedly stated that she did what CO asked her to do, per our website and demanded that we seat her and her under 14 yr old children with her. :rolleyes: I had to pay off two people to give up their good seats ($100 TC each plus enough drink chits to get them drunk) to get this family together. This stuff is getting old quickly and we still have 3 more months of summer travel. |
Hi, all -
So the one-week hiatus is kind of turning into a three-week one, as two graduations/ reunion/end of year meetings/family craziness ate up just about all the days, and now I am on a 10-day biking and camping trip with 26 of my students and 7 other adults. We're in Lancaster County, PA right now (home of the Amish) and will see Gettysburg, Harper's Ferry, and some other historic sites before arriving on the steps of the Capitol just about exactly one week from right now. It's very different than anyrhing I've ever done in my life, but I am hanging in there and having a good time so far... Hope you're all well and have managed to squeeze in a few last segments before midnight tonight! Can't wait to catch up next Tuesday. :) P.S. I'm attenpting to keep my twitter account reasonably updated on our progress, if you're interested... |
