You betcha. Shame I go back to 1.5 day weekends starting after Labor Day (and all of the exceptions to that, through the end of the year, have already had trips booked into them!)

My PP card started 5k less than any amex I had at the time, and 10k less than the world MC CO as well.

i have had my PPlus a year and 3 months now, and it started at 10k, now up a bit. AMEX cards all over 20k now :eek:

Good news here on renewal front, seems they comped me the annual fee on the PPlus, the CO WMC was $75, so they didn't waive both, but hey I am fine with one fee at $75 :)

I thought the Chase World MC was $85.:confused:

You knew what I meant. And Chase wouldn't cut me a break - I tried to move some banking there (for CO miles) and they wouldn't even let me open a checking account from TN.

Having my favorite type of good, allowed fat - mussels in wine sauce and a nice soup on the side.

doh, on that $10 I 'misremembered' ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP FEE(Other)
$85.00

it is $85, but the $375 on the PPlus I am in good shape with a big 0 on annual fee ^

I'm starting my schemeing now.

I really hope this deal is around for October. I don't have anything planned for weekends that month, and could have a ridiculous amount of fun with that pass. I'm 2010 top-tier requaled for CO and BD, so (aside from MMer issues), wouldn't really be foregoing that much.

Mine is next week. August is indeed popular.

Most of the people in my office - including me - are next month.

Oh for the time and cash. I wonder what I could build out of AUS.

I don't have any E190 rides yet. I don't wanna trek up to JFK to get one. I suppose I could use US for that after Star and get useful miles.

I'm tired all of a sudden. Caffeine so I sound awake for my 4pm call might be a good idea.

The MyAlli personalized website reminds me of that of some airlines. I cannot submit my weekly weight check-in today because my assigned weight check-in day is Wednesday :rolleyes:

I have an interview for a position (my desired self-demotion) tomorrow. ^

The E190 is probably my favorite non-Boeing airframe. It is a really nice ride and B6's implementation with EML at the exit rows makes the 2x2 seating quite nice.

The job fairy seems to be doing a great job of covering the south. ^

I work in a type of organization where one can be promoted to administration at the snap of a finger but returning to a non-administration role requires interviewing from scratch.

Best of luck with that; I know you've wanted it for a while. Is the plan still to teach the courses that you were mentioning?

Heard much of the same as what you say from people who have flown on it, both in B6 and US threads on the topic. I need to promote myself into larger Embraers - the 145 is as large as my FM has had, and I would really like to get a 170/175/190/195.
