Fortuantely, CO has phased in more ExJet flights back onto the DCA-CLE route so that it is no longer primarily Chautauqua. There are now, unfortunately, Chautauqua CRJ's appearing on the BWI-CLE schedule, however.

I am suddenly reminded of a NSFW Craigslist ad that made its way through teh Box a while back. A frightening mixture of model trains meets creepy personals ad.

Cleveburgh gets all the cool planes, that's for sure.

If in Y, I also prefer the 762. If in J, I slightly prefer the 764, but generally am indifferent. In considering the issue more deeply, however, I would say that the minicabin on the 764 Micronesia might be as good as that of the 762. I've had some of the most comfortable coach flights ever in row 10 on that aircraft.

$300USD and 47 square feet (:eek:) later and all you have is an empty airfield. Then you have to pick the aircraft you want to populate the ramp out of the 1:400 collection...the terminal allows 3 large widebodies (A380, A346), eight widebodies, and 11 narrowbodies...and that's assuming you don't buy more jets to put on the runways and taxiways. At $21 to $50 per plane, you've basically created something that nerds would envy and something to cause the uninitiated to fear you.

That depends how much are you looking to spend. Hogan makes some nice plastic models for 20-40$ also pacmin makes museum quality pieces for around 350 .

I get a discount at the museum of flight so if you want I will be able to pick something up for you.

I like the ones that they have for sale at the Airplane Shop. I have visited their Las Vegas location twice and really like it as they seem to have a large selection. They also have a tailfin keychain for CO that they sell for 3.00. Very Cool!

Apparenty wedged in between e-mails for male enhancement, acai berries, and 70% off watches I got an e- mail that co is now following my Twitter.

Yeah, they want to make sure to ensure that they know in advance which flights you areon so that they don't oversell them.

well at least 5 of the flght patterns we can ask you the real stats for.

You don't pose a threat like some. ;)

My other complaint is the lack of a curtain in the galley, I guess I never noticed it before but after flying around Asia last month on different carriers, I noticed they have curtains to block the light from the galley and lav area preventing it from going into the cabin.

I was flying a DL domestic 763 in F on a redeye this weekend and seated in the first row of F (I got the last upgrade available), and the FA's left the galley curtain open for the entire flight. They also talked loudly enough that I could hear them through my noise-cancelling headphones.

Then again, I thought someone in coach died during the flight and was not sure whether I dreamt the FA's discussion of the incident or not, so I did not want to ask them to close the curtain. The presence of the paramedics that boarded the aircraft after most of the passengers had disembarked seemed to indicate that something had happened, however.
