I have that song on this here laptop. I also have no desire to ever go to RNO.

I flew in to RNO but on my way to Tahoe. Now that was a great destination.

Me as well, plus turning the bathroom into a steam room does wonders for the travel wrinkles.

I think the most ^ outcome would be a BA takeover of Diamond Club, though it seems Willie Walsh is only interested in teh LHR slots. I could have some fun with 250,000 BA miles (assuming 1:1 transfer ratio).

Must be my pre-coffee paranoia. I'm still fairly certain that I'll be sitting on a pile of Luftwaffe Miles and SEN status in the near future. Hoping that I don't end up with buckets of VS miles, as their program sucks.

I did the same thing for a ski trip last year. The night before we were leaving, we hit a place in Reno called "The Crazy Weiner".....it's a little neighborhood dive that has decent hot dogs and karaoke. Teh Box could do some serious damage there. :D

VS seems to be the logical contender in wanting to buy the airline, I mean slots.

Working a half-day and heading home this afternoon with a SDF-CLE-EWR-ZFV routing. Right now, I have no travel booked at all but I should have a bunch of FLA trips before the end of the year (most likely RSW, JAX, and MCO).

Good morning Box...have a :-: day!

Today is Joann Oliveros' last day of work at CLE as she rides off to retirement bliss tomorrow. I am meeting her at the airport later this morning but thought it would be fun to have the 'Boxers drop her a note while her email is still live. @coair.com should still work for the remainder of the day.

VS wants those slots for more than just long-haul. They want domestic (Euro) feed. :-:

I guess I should familiarize myself with the steaming pile that is VS Flying Club.

ETA - LAX-CPT = 200,000 VS mi. in J. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'd love to meet you in CLE but I only have a 30 minute connection. I'll be getting in at 2:10 on CO2723....will you still be there?

Morning, Box. Cough, pounding headache, runny nose, and all that on six hours of sleep and no coffee as of this writing.

ssullivan Oct 1, 2009 6:54 am

Three attempts to check in for tomorrow's NW/DL flights have resulted in three different errors. Not good. I guess I'll just get to IAH early tomorrow and deal with it there.

That is my thought as well, though there is an interesting thought of LH turning LHR in to a *A megahub.
