Greetings from AUA, which has the U.S. pre-screening ... I had to show the passport 3 times in the span of 100 feet and then hadn't even reached the U.S. baggage check / clearance. I did pick up some duty-free beer, so DL better bring us into a domestic gate ...

I was intending to fly PHL-MHT on WN to go to the SigArms Academy, but I won't pass up a matched fare on US that gets miles.

If I could assure myself F, I might fly US again.

I'm officially a dean through October 11 - on annual leave as well.

Will have to screen potential significant otters for willingness to fly AB or SV.

The screening should provide the candidate access to IATA airline codes.

I have a palm centro that is my main phone, contract up (2 year) in dec, I have told them now, I am jsut letting it expire and downsizing my account to one phone and no broadband net. I want a enw phone now, and goign to get it or they lose me.

Edit: ok supervisor to the rescue! Got new phone coming.

I've got to call T-Mobile about my BlackBerry with the busted speaker. Funny thing is that the speaker did work the other night — for one text message. It played the notification sound, but then stopped working again after that one time.

As for Sprint, I honestly think you're the first person I've heard say they were a fan of them. Seems like my friends and family that have them mostly just b!tch and moan about them nonstop.

I missed a 752 MEM-DTW (my fault for flight/AC selection).

Going back to basics couldn't hurt, especially since I know I have bad habits that I want to train myself out of.

Like me putting the index finger of my support hand on the square Glock trigger guard? Does pull the shot down.

Already buy your engagement ring? I got 100k miles through BN.com

Why are you buying engagement rings through a bookstore? (I know, just being difficult).

What was the other meal choice?

I'm not sure I remember when I last had a meal in CO Y.

Those sorts of shenanigans by an airline would result in me making a trip to small claims/justice court to make a Deceptive Trade Practices Act claim, along with treble damages and any court costs.

I told travel agent (had to use corporate at the time) that she had to get the funds back for the organization. About three weeks later (e.g. three weeks too late), the funds were back on my corporate AmEx.

I don't mind the cheeseburger but could do without the bean soup.

Some of the options Chelsea has produced have been intriguing.

Seems like a 24 F seat 752 would be pretty easy to get upgraded on. Granted that's a hub-hub route, but I've had no trouble with upgrades on that route on a DC-9.

Zippo.

I was amused at how many people either passed or picked at the fruit bowl. I took one bite or the burger and one spoon of the soup before jumping for my bag in hopes of a granola bar.

I am usually a big fan of Chelsea, but this was nasty.

I don't mind either, although that's not my favorite of their soups.

Will this work? The only reason I ask is that it was my understanding that the purchased E+ access is attached to the Mileage Plus number. I'm curious as to how that works when crediting to another frequent flier program.

I've been told that it is possible to have one account assigned to a PNR for purposes of status and another for purposes of credit. But I have never tried.

Has anyone read the book "Up in the Air"? I just started it on the subway this morning and I am NOT a reader unless the book has charts and numbers which pertain to my career. The first 20 pages are really good especially after seeing the trailer's to the film. It will be my "subway" book so will likely take me about a month to finish it but I'd be happy to pass it along to any one of you.

I'm a big fan. I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy the movie, but I'm willing to give it a try.

I usually will eat almost anything, but this looked and tasted awful.

Oh I forgot — that's one of those routes that's just long enough for a hot meal, but they only load one choice.

16 F on a DC-9 can easily go out with empties; 22 F on a 752 is a challenge on MEM-DTW and MSP-ATL.
