Yet the stupid 15-20 minute frequencies were running yesterday like a normal Saturday when the system has hardly anyone on it. Five Points was as packed yesterday as I've ever seen it during a weekday rush hour when I was through there. My total transit time yesterday from Peachtree Center to Edgewood/Candler Park was right at an hour because of long waits between trains. For those not familiar with our transit system, that routing involves transiting only 6 stations, most around a mile apart (or less), and one transfer of train. On a weekday it would take around 20 minutes, if even that.

But then, this is Atlanta and Georgia. I've learned that the way things run here tends to defy logic and reason.

Pop quiz time. Where did this CO 738 just touch down at? [Note: this is a regularly scheduled flight. No tricks.]

I'm on track for over 125k BIS miles this year - an all time high for me.

Is that side considered finished? If so, that window would bug the crap out of me too.

So the instant upgrades do not show up. I thought the did, I sat next to a guy on a y fare who showed up on the upgrade list.

When they did the fare bucket change a few months ago that all changed. B/M upgrades don't show up but Y's still do. This being since B/Ms are now capacity controlled.

So far my best estimate is I've still got at least 75 flights left before December 31, and if I double up a few weeks and hit two clients in the same week, it may be closer to 100.
