Wow - that Sears / Brett Favre indecisive commercial is really annoying.

During the summer, DL runs a nonstop daily 738 on ATL-FCA (Kalispell, MT). We flew the FCA-ATL portion of this flight in June, on a reward ticket, in F. It's a lunch flight both directions, which on DL these days means a choice of a cold sub sandwich and chips, or some kind of salad. FCA is an airport mostly served by RJs, with a few 319/320 flights on NW to MSP, and the lone DL mainline flight to ATL in the summer. There's no catering for meals there, despite the huge numbers of passengers this fairly small airport handles in the summer months (Glacier National Park is a few miles away). DL caters its ATL flight for both directions in ATL. In our case, after the lunch orders were taken, the FA working F opens the coat closet, moves some coats aside, gets down on her hands and knees, and pulls out about 4-5 sandwiches, wrapped in plastic wrap, from the bottom of the coat closet, and then takes them to the galley where they end up on trays for passengers a few minutes later. At this point the sandwiches had flown ATL-FCA, a flight of around four hours, plus the hour plane had sat on the ground at FCA. Assuming they were loaded in the closet in ATL, they had probably been there, unchilled, for around 5-6 hours. They kind of tasted like it too.

I miss the side pocket. I hate the hardness of the seats. And I really miss the cutout in the back of the seat that allows the seatback pocket to recess into the back of the seat, instead of stick out from the back of the seat. That actually creates at least an inch or two of extra knee room and is a great design. The new seat has a pocket that's completely on the back of the seat, not recessed in, like a Y seat, effectively reducing leg and knee room.
I am thinking to use it for the box so we can share all out seat design advice into a usable product to make some money from OUR collective seat knowledge. ;) |
Been told it's bedtime so will respond to a few select morsels:

Yes, I need to check with them about that and also the map of Europe I bought that is keyed to the original device.

:D I'm usually the reason why people are in "unacceptable seating conditions". Gate agents are Gods and we purposely seat people in separate seats just for the humor of it all. Children should never sit near their mothers.;)

My next two flights are earning 50% EQMs; can't wait for the changes to take effect!

Can't Brits get any sleep on airplanes? Sleeping beauty is snoozing away instead of vacationing. Just because there was moderate turbulance and some woman was screaming they were going to die for 4 hours of the flight is no excuse to not sleep. :rolleyes:

Home from a mostly great trip to NYC this weekend. However, the one real downer came right at the end of the trip. As we were leaving the cab we took to Penn Station from our hotel, my partner apparently left his brand new iPhone that he's had less than a month in the cab. I don't know how it happened, but we got down the escalator into Penn Station and he said "Where's my phone?" I ran back up the stairs but the cab was gone, and he searched our bags and it was nowhere to be found. He's now justifiably p!ssed off at himself for losing it. We've filed the necessary reports to try and get it back, if it's ever found, but odds are, we'll never see it again.

Some old timers will you they loved the 27-200's from a standpoint of cabin noise and comfort. The flight engineer, 3 man crew made them infeasible, but they were still in fleets of some LCC's in this decade: ATA, for one, Vanguard for another.

(I don't actually wear my phone on a lanyard due to losing it,. more just because when working I hated it dropping out of my shirt pocket and smashing into the floor.) I just have some people ask sometimes if it is so it doesn't get 'lost' |

I sent numerous text messages to the phone with my number on them, reporting the phone lost and asking anyone who finds it to call my number. We also called it repeatedly. Unfortunately it was left in the cab with the ringer off, so any hope of maybe the driver hearing it when we called was lost. Maybe we'll get really, really lucky and it was turned in by the driver and we'll manage to get it back, but I know the odds are probably 99% against us on that one. At this point I can no longer call or text message it, as he's suspended the account with AT&T for now to prevent any excess usage charges. We've also changed passwords for just about everything he's ever used that phone for (we were doing that using my BlackBerry on the train ride from New York Penn to EWR). |

He's also lost the keys to the car while traveling — TWICE. Well, the first time it was his sister who lost the key to his car when they went to Hawaii a few years ago together. Last fall he lost the other key to his car while on a business trip to Las Vegas. That one also involved the loss of a key to my car, as the lost key ring had both on it. |
