He doesn't appear to have GGG. :)

$150 is mucho :rolleyes:, but you know we would be happy to have some beers with you. Must leave this decision of momentous :rolleyes: securely in your hands.

I'm quite tempted.

I'm putting it up for a vote. Should I go ahead and change my ticket to be in Houston Thursday night? And if I do, and ALCO can't get the tickets, we'll meet for beer?

$150 is :rolleyes: for a change. I would wait and do the SDS for $25/$50

This sounds much more wise.

I've heard of guys who have either peed or spit tobacco into a 5-gallon watercooler jug until it was full just to see what it would look like.

I'm sorry to hear that. I already have a plan for my 10,000th post, but I'm in no rush to get there, as this post indicates.

That being said, maybe we can have a NJ box micro-mini DO including dinner, drinks, and some tunes provided by yours truly. July 24th in Freehold anyone?? http://www.thecabinrestaurant.net/

Thanks for the invite, nonetheless. :) It's just something that I am certain is a bad idea for me. I might hurt myself, and potentially those around me.

That's a snazzy paint job. ^

Me too. I turn pink and itchy, then brown, then I peel/shed, then back to milquetoast.

In comparison to Seat 2A or CO Insider, there's not too many FM pages that don't look pathetic. SkyTeam 777 is another one who is never home.

I think CO might have those in their database (witness the MM program), but they apparently don't have a neat way for people to request a copy of their old flight records. Too bad. Maybe COInsider can help us out there? ;)

You can pay for old records. It's some ridiculous per-flight lookup charge, and there's no volume discount.

Attention, Commerce/TD Bank users: the infamous coin counting machine in the lobby of TD branches accepts dollar coins. No need to bother tellers. Found this out when I went to cash a check this afternoon. I'm a TD customer, and I now know that I can buy golden dollars with impunity since I don't need to bother a human being. :D

Yep. Although, I don't ever remember CO serving that airport. Same deal with SPS. He's also missing DRT, which CO does service (via Colgan).

It might be doable, although my experience with the same day change thing is that it won't allow me to take a simple connection and make it into what's essentially an overnight multi-city itinerary. The only way to make this work is to take what's currently ticketed as BTR-IAH-ATL with a connection and split it into separate BTR-IAH and IAH-ATL flights on different days. Any idea if that will work? I've tried it before with the same day change thing and have not ever been able to get that to work before.

Might I suggest GRU-JNB-WDH-WVB-CPT-EZE on a combo of SA, SW, and MH?

GRU-JNB is SA. Who flies the other segments? Is CPT-EZE MH or SA?

I was hoping to find the ever elusive reward for the GRU-JNB-EZE run.

This is the map I found for SkyTeam 777... it looks a bit off, as I don't know of any airlines that fly many of the routes shown:

EZE-CPT is MH, EZE-JNB is SA. JNB-WDH-WVB-CPT could be a mix of SA and SW.

I hope that machine is more accurate than a CoinStar if you're putting dollars in ...
