A few things:

* The concept of "ratio" is incorrect in the chart.
* On the "statistically bad flights", I'm certain I wouldn't board a DC-9 for a U.S. to Russia non-stop.

The problem with the FM/Twitter thing is that it requires loading flights prior to taking them for the tweets to happen. I believe in loading them in after the flight, not before. And I use openflights, not FM. ;)

As for the photo, it isn't nearly as awkward as the karaoke bar one. I'm not worried about it at all. :p

We weren't that sloppy, at least not until ALCO wandered off at the end of the night. Other than that it was actually pretty tame I think. My friend who joined us hasn't called me to say she'll never talk to me again, so it can't have been that bad. ;)

How cool is that museum? I had a few hours one day to check it out while I was waiting for the "weather" to clear at EWR :rolleyes:



You could have taken the pic while sitting on the back of a baby elephant :D

Poop. That sucks.

The first one was "Good morning", the second one is "How are you?", followed by "I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions, and I want to have them answered immediately", and then the tangent link was supposed to say "You lack discipline!"

:rolleyes: to remote linking.

Mrs. photog72 and baby photog72 are scheduled IAH-BOS on Sunday, the 23rd. I know it's way too early, but Bill could cause issues in the northeast from what I heard. Is that true? What is the forecast track for that storm?

An A318, however, is another question.

I'm pretty sure an A319 actually has longer range than an A320, at least at the configurations that US airlines fly them. Most of my transcons from PHL are on A319s; A320s are known for making fuel stops but A319s supposedly rarely do.

An A318, however, is another question.

I will be in SFO tonight, though on the other side of the airport so I can't stop to say hello to sfogate. Next time, I guess. Supposedly the BART strike has been averted, so at least I will be able to indulge my public transportation habit on the way home.

A318's routinely do PHL from DEN. I know it's not transcon length but it's a point of reference.

I can take criticism as well as dish it out, but calling women 'fat #$@%$# cow' and others many other things, is just beyond the acceptable point, when that has ZERO to do with their cooking, and isn't even true in any regard.
