Heh, HR people are ridiculous.

Do they still offer their degree in rodeo riding?

Awesome!

We've already discussed in our household ways to visit Cuba. That one could definitely be a possibility.

Nifty, thanks for the link. I haven't traditionally worked in IT but I can do most of it with a healthy dose of networking thrown in to make things interesting. The problem is, I don't have work experience in that sort of thing on my resume so it makes it a bit tough. Even still, the list of companies is helpful. ^

I am SO tired of hearing about Michael Jackson. :rolleyes:

He's dead, let it go.

Yep. I've flown it, and it was fine. AS is a great airline overall. Every flight I've had on them has been great, with wonderful crews both on the ground and in the air. AS F is similar in service level to CO. I've only done it on the 734, on a lunch SEA-ANC flight. Those seats are older than what you'll find on the 737-NGs. Their newer seats are virtually identical to CO's 739-ER F seat (which has already been mentioned). Food wise they were about on par with CO domestic F.

Overall, it's a very good domestic F product.

Thank God I'll be at Five Guys for a team lunch at noon on Tuesday, and then will be back at training all afternoon. The one time I'm glad I won't be around a TV.

Yes, Sul Ross was a client of mine. It was always a pain to get there and back — pretty much killed all day traveling each direction — but the people at the university there were great to work with. I love my smaller, more laid back, non-complicated clients like that. And, since they knew I traveled every week and spent a lot of time by myself on the road, they always made sure that they took me to lunch every day and found things to do to entertain myself in the evenings. Super nice group of people out there. I miss working with them.

Yes.

If y'all bored and need some aeropron video here's a rare, taken from in front of the wing landing video at YVR It ends with possibly the fastest talking FA but I will add she is an excellant FA.

We adopted a new cat today. Yesterday we stopped in Petsmart to get a new toy for one of the existing cats, and looked in the adoption center and saw a gorgeous black Maine coon mix that's about two years old. He looks like a larger version of Nero, our black Maine coon we adopted last May. So, last night we talked about it some, and today, we stopped back in there since we had to run to the Home Depot that's next door on another errand. We played with the cat some more, filled out the paperwork, and about an hour got called and asked if we wanted to come back in to talk to one of the adoption counselors. Long story short, an hour later we were headed home with a new cat.

You should be glad you don't live in L.A. All the local news is still 75% about MJ.

I would be game for a visit to Cuba. It looks pretty nice.

Ok Box, question for you:

I have an award ticket MSP-EWR-MSP in a few months. My return flight (on a 737-300) has been changed Delta-style to an ERJ-145.

Given that I'm not a fan of RJs on 1000+ mile flights, is this cause for a refund of miles? I know it would be on Delta (since it's a change of operating carrier...), but not sure on CO rules...

In my experience, it never hurts to try a few times. You may get an agent who understands.

One tactic would be to say that you can't fly on small planes and thus avoid them.
