That would be great if the times were better, but outbound cx get me to DFW too late, and the return, I'd have to leave too early, so neither really work. :(

Besides, I get to fly CO because of the >7 pm flight home on Thursday night, otherwise, they'd banish me to AA-land. I'm not gonna do too much to rock this boat... :)

Good to know, thanks. Would you build any longer of a connection? I've done C to D in 30 minutes and had a few minutes to spare.

Maybe 10 minutes longer, just to be safe.

So I have finally booked my first CO CR2 flight. CLE-ATL.

Right hand to Joe Pesci, it happened.

I actually don't even remember them CALLING for VDB's, though I definitely wasn't at the gate as early as I should have been under any circumstances...

Those last two flights of the night IAH-PHL are (or were, in better times) notorious bump chances...the Sunday night version was known to go as high as $500, hotel, and a Monday morning F seat.

When will you be in CLE?

I don't miss that flight for the lack of upgrades as a gold. I do miss it for the multiple VDBs that flight provides.

After it was down for a while, I finally finished updating 2005 in my flightmemory and I realized a few things. I spend way too much time on ERJ's and 73x's, and my map is patheticly (that was for you CM) domestic.

Next time I have a few hours, I'll put 2006 in there along with finishing 2008-2009. I wish I could piece together my pre-2001 travel for it too but I just don't have any records :(

Yeah, if this downpour doesn't stop soon, I might have to skip the bank and hope nobody finds my mobile vault overnight. I could use the drive thru and stay dry, but I don't think 50 lbs would move too well through a teller tube.

I'm sorry. Those CO CRJs will only be around a few more months, so might as well get it while you can, I guess. At least that's a fairly short flight.

It is not like I had a choice in the matter. I do need both aircraft (145 + CR2) I am trying to get the generic 737 of my top 10 flight memory list.
