I'm actually more likely to do the opposite. If there is no reciprocal E+, and I'm likely to fly only 75k to 80k, I'll probably requalify for 1P and settle for CO silver. I usually can fly B fares on CO for business travel, so as long as I can B-up I will be happy, and I think you lose a little more between 1P and 2P vs. CO Gold vs. Silver.

A couple did this with their baby in front of the center section bulkhead seats they were sitting in on my 777 IAD-LAX flight the other night. The only time the flight attendants had an issue with it was when we hit some pretty rough turbulence that lasted a good half hour or so.

Wasn't there a warning posted recently about leaving The Box? ;)

1965 Watts Riots and again in 1992; kind of once a generation. Not like some places where there is a riot anytime a sports teams wins a championship.

I was in that club from 06:30 - 06:55; just missed you. I was 3 hours later in the LAS club for a nanosecond.

Ah, so there is the upside of following professional sports in Cleveland.

When in LAS, Plus1 rides in style. Behold, one smokin' Yukon---

On the plus side, it is pretty easy to find my car in a crowded parking lot.

Correct on Watts — I had forgotten about that one. But then, kind of hard for me to "remember" it considering it happened nine years before I was born.

In any case, it's certainly not something that happens with nearly the frequency of fires and earthquakes.

I was three. My mom told me yeas later that I wiped the ashes off of my dad's riot helmet when he finally got home.
