There's a reason people call it Whole Paycheck.

Not to mention $100 Depot.

Good afternoon Box.

G'Afternoon to you! I see that you just achieved 4300 posts on FT! Congrats!^

The internet is not functioning at my house yet. So again I have been relegated to a coffee shop.

I have decided on the message I want my 10,000th post to convey.

'ConciergeEvangelist'?!!:D

Going outside The Box is not always a good idea. :D

I'm afraid I don't understand why is it wrong to give a free drink to a guy in uniform onboard a US carrier.

Hmm, I am watching the Blue Angels at SEAFair. very cool.

Looks like you don't have much time to decide!

There is nothing wrong with it. I need to stay out of that thread before my stress level goes up any more.

Yeah -- same here -- you were very brave & reasonable there! ^ From a customer point of view -- I think it elicits a lot of pride at that moment!

People just can't contain themselves in those types of threads, which means it will eventually be closed or shipped off to omni.

There is NOTHING good that would be achieved by me jumping into that thread. :rolleyes:

Afternoon, Box - currently at the zoo known as CLT, where the parents dropped me off on their way home (driving) from HHI-CLE; I was supposed to fly CLT-EWR-PHL. Well, due to whatever is STILL going on in the NYC area, my CLT-EWR flight was about 3 hrs delayed at that point (arriving around 10:45 pm) and the second flight had just been cancelled.

This would have been no problem at all (would have just taken the train home from EWR) except for the fact that my car is sitting at PHL.

Long story short: there was plenty of space on the last CLT-CLE flight tonight, as well as any number of CLE-PHL flights tomorrow...so I was rebooked on those, will beat the parents by 3 hrs, take the RTA home (I don't know if I have EVER taken that to/from the airport!) and then fly out tomorrow at 11:20.

I lose a whopping 28 EQMs :-p and trade an F seat and a Dash 8 for two ERJ legs, but given the circumstances, I'm not complaining!
