:( ...yeah, that might be the base. But still, it frustrates me when either side stirs the pot...especially when it's in a good thread.

If there was going to be pot-stirring, I truthfully would have expected it in the alternative fuel thread.

As an aside, I find the liberal domination of FlyerTalk to be absolutely amazing given that FT is populated mostly by businesspeople...businesspeople who enjoy posting profits. :confused:

I had to explain to a friend today that the September 11th fee is not a penalty fee because she is flying on September 11.:o

Killing time, need 8 more minutes so I can do my WN checkin.

I'm pretty sure not.

Much beer tonight, and at the Yankee game. Overall, quite a good night. ^

Darkly funny nonetheless.

I thought WN shut down those companies that were e-sniping their OLCI. I realize that the best you can do is to be A16 unless you're on a BS fare, but A39 is a bit :rolleyes:.

Ok, lucky had an amazingly entertaining flight. Check it out here.

Looking forward to trying them. Still got a $50 gift card burning a hole in my desk.

It also depends on if connecting passengers already checked in with their earlier flights and snagged the A's.

I should mention that I've never flown WN. My feelings of :rolleyes: have only been brought on by observing the things that a non-WN flyer can observe.

I have no intention of ever experiencing them first hand.

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.


LAX PC has 2-ply. The stuff looks household as opposed to what you'd get from a industrial/office supply company. I wonder if the local employees as buying it themselves?
