Duplicated routes are fine, as FM keeps stats on which routes are the most heavily traveled. Be sure to tag the "Aircraft Name" field with your FT handle if you post in the Box FM. The password is "vandalay"

My LAX-KOA-LAX would be relevant - rather than kick anyone off FM, if someone wants to add:

LAX-KOA, (SkyTeam partner) 1767, 12 May 09, 752, F, 3C, N750AT
KOA-LAX, (SkyTeam partner) 1768, 14 May 09, 752, F, 3C, N7??AT

Precisely what I was thinking.

Well, there is MAN-HAM, raising the eternal question: person or bacon?

Would a MAN-HAM flyer be someone who is also partial to FAT-SUX?

Yes! I was in Sydney and Melbourne and Fiji in January. Also, I was in Jo'burg, Durban, Swaziland last July. But, none of my flights are in the FT thingy because i wouldn't have a clue how to do it!

Can I marry your daughter, I'm only 26.

Nah - the MAN-HAM flyer might be partial to FAT-AOK (Karpathos). ;)

Night, Box. I need to go sleepy time much earlier in order to wake up and be somewhat coherent for my pitch tomorrow morning.

ConciergeMike Aug 11, 2009 9:05 pm

I think Richard Simmons used to fly FAT-SUX all the time.

I also am apparently the only person to have an A321 this year. :-:

I havent either. I can add SEA-IAH-NRT! Don't think anyone else has done that route!! :cool:

Wow, I looked that up and hadn't realized that had happened. It's the sort of thing my parents would have mentioned since my grandmother and my two aunts went to school there.

The same Google search yielded the information that someone at my alma mater snuck a bad word onto the cover of the school yearbook.

Doesn't US count twice, once for the flight, once for the headaches!

I'm also pretty sure I'm the only person with a Britten Norman BN2. And I seem to be the only E90, but the truth is that the stats on FM are piss-poor for getting details like that.



^^ That's great news. And there is no way that needing to do subnets on the fly can really be the basis for a job you actually want. Being able to do them at all, yes. But in you head quickly, meh.

I apparently was sitting too still in the office here updating FM. The lights went off because I didn't trigger the motion sensor.

LOL!!! :cool:

Great!^ Good deal w/all the bonus cash back & bucks!;) Thanks for sharing!

On a related AMEX note -- I just realized that I charged more on my AMEX Plat than I needed to, this month, in order to take advantage of the (targeted) 3X MR points offer. I didn't read the fine print correctly (it was confusing) & had to call MR CS to clarify. :rolleyes: So, nothing other than gas & groceries on the AMEX Plat for the rest of the month! I will shift the rest of my month's charges to the CO PP MC!:p
