I wasn't going to play anything past college - I played baseball D-III but had an offer in another sport. In one 24-hour period (Friday evening DH / Saturday morning DH), I caught three (shortened) games and played LF until coming in for "garbage time" pitching in the fourth. We played Maryland and defending D-III champion Johns Hopkins ...

I also played every position except 2B in a game during college; the variety of footwork needed on all the possible iterations of double-plays is entirely unlike anything else on the field and I frankly didn't have a reason to practice it.

Post 5757 and I need to get to bed (despite my nap from 6 - 8 p.m.).

Sounds in line with what I am expecting. Being a commercial airline enthusiast, I figured it's just something I have to eventually read.

On a related note, me and amazon.com are trouble together... :eek:

Same here - I got two different shipments yesterday. As my bank doesn't have a coin counter, I throw my jars of pennies, nickels, and dimes in the CoinStar for the fee-free Amazon cards.

There's a good history of JetBlue floating around...Blue Skies, I wanna say. Author's first name is Barbara.

The B777 book is by Karl Sabbagh...see my LinkedIn review below:

I grudgingly buy from Amazon when B&N doesn't have what I'm looking for. I get my miles on the vendor side, not the card side. IMO B&N is a better customer experience. B&N doesn't use the Postal Service; huge plus for me...I'd rather get the UPS box every time since I usually order books in such quantities that the USPS would never be able to fit my orders in my mailbox.

Night, Box. I'm gonna attempt sleep. 9am and noon con-calls, and no coffee in the house. This is gonna be fun.

In my experience, B&N always seems to have higher prices. I know it makes me a bad FTer, but I'll almost always pass on a small number of miles to save some cash.

Thank you. You are now on the upgrade list.

I read all the time. I might be able to help you but first I need to know what you like to read.

Good "Monday" morning Box. :) I would appreciate some advice. There seems to be quite a bit of chatter in various forums, including this one, that US's current 100% match for purchased miles is a desperate attempt to raise cash. Furthermore it's been suggested that if this cash infusion, along with other cost-cutting measures, doesn't improve US's bottom line that they are teetering on the brink of BK.

My question concerns travel I have booked on US for Thanksgiving. It's a one-way from SWF (Stewart-Newburgh) back to PHX for which I burned a dollar-value voucher I received for VDB compensation. I know if I had paid for the ticket with a CC I'd have recourse through the credit card issuer but the whole ticket was paid for with the voucher. I'm considering paying a visit to the US counter on my next trip out of PHX to have the e-ticket printed to paper. Am I jumping the gun and wasting the paper ticket fee or do you think this would be a prudent move in case US liquidates between now and then rendering the ticket worthless and useless?

Thanks for your replies.

I read it. It's a fast read and you will enjoy it because you fly CO. The best airline book I've read is Hard Landings.

My non-fiction interests are biographies, spy/war/CIA stuff and disasters (as in 9-11). Let me know if you want me to recommend anything from this grouping.

My work day:

Flights: :)

Co-worker: :mad:

I was told I wasn't a team player. :confused: Tomorrow should be very interesting at work. I am not the type to let something like this slide.

Oh, oh!! :rolleyes: They better watch out!! Good luck with dealing w/the co-worker!^

Am sitting in the EWR PClub waiting to go to DEN!

Gnite box!
