If you see this in any sense other than a UA upgrade instrument, it's an aircraft you run screaming away from.

Yup. Folks in NYC actually got the short end of the stick on that deal as the add-on fares from most other cities were trivial (~$50) adding many more miles over the non-stops from JFK.

I only got to add the BNA-JFK / JFK-BNA segments, but for a European jaunt from BNA ...

I don't think I've ever said this in my life, but there's a decent thread on the US forum. It's all hypothesis on what exactly is going on with Republic (and how it impacts US).

I have to say, I think BoeingBoy is one of the most valuable contributors to FT. ^

Yep, I recently took three people with no status into E+.

In other news, Shaq O'Neal is rumored to be traded to Cleveland. Yeah he's getting old but anything large to fill up the lanes is good for Lebron and company.

Good morning Box.

My wife (who grew up in PHX) is going to be pissed.

In UA land it's a confirmed regional upgrade. Very useful.

Not always useful if flying to/from SFO, the land of 1Ks.

Morning, Box. I've been in lurk mode for the past week and decided to join the :rolleyes: today.

Even less useful when you're a 2P with CR-1s thanks to a recent promo. Heading to FAT in mid-July (great time to be in the Central Valley :rolleyes:), and I'm waitlisted ORD-SFO. Did get confirmed LAX-ORD on the return, though.

Oh I don't know if I'd say that.

I've enjoyed some good u/g's ex SFO as a 1P (on 500's no less! :cool: )

The best one that comes to mind is when I upped SFO-IAD-LAX for 1 500. Riddle me that. :D:D

Well, I was able to confirm one of 5 segments of my HNL trip immediately. It was the very last one - ORD-EWR in ExPlus. :rolleyes:

I've got a few months yet (trip is end of October) for the EWR-ORD-SFO-HNL-ORD segments to clear. Yes, I know it is a long shot with no status, but it will be nice if it happens.

Wow...it only took you a week to read through the 63K posts? I'm impressed!

Welcome to the crazy - or, as some may claim, the only sane part of FT. :eek:

FWIW my HNL turns only cleared a few days before hand for my travel in March and rumor is that UA's been holding back F on that route until shortly before departure...must be picking up some bad habits from CO.

You called?

I'm pretty sure that surgical titanium would not set the sensor off, but surgical steel - like any other steel item - does. All depends on the type of implant, some are pure titanium or steel, others are blends which would be hit or miss. Also depends on the screening mechanism - I wear the same belt every week, some it sets the sensors off, other times it doesn't. It's a TSA cr*p shoot. :)

In other news, I'm still trying to recover from last night's trip to the Love Shack here in Fort Worth.

Pigs actually make pretty decent pets. They are extremely intelligent and some of them like to have their foreheads rubbed. We used to have a few when I was growing up and they played with the dogs like they were one of them.

Me, I've always wanted a monkey. Wife said "no".

Perhaps you need to talk to my father. We had one in the late 70s early 80s. I dont know what he did to convince my mother to keep it but he did.

Children are known to do the same thing but people still rush to have one! :cool:

Well aren't you the lucky one :p. I don't have much luck getting upgrades to/from SFO.

^^ yep, I'm with you. Snagged me a four segment all upgraded cross country MR using only 2 e500s.
