Something else I didn't consider: ATH/IST. TK only goes to ORD and JFK, and with A3 coming on board next year, ATH makes good sense too.

CO is moving ATH to year around i believe, with the JV ATI approved, I don't think it is in the best interest to have it overserved...

CO to ATH is year round but not daily when that change does kick in. ATH has never been tremendously well-served from North America...it's not unreasonable to try service to/from the NYC and WAS metros. DL is going there year-round from JFK and seasonal from ATL, and even the service to/from Canuckistan is seasonal.

Good afternoon Box. The box was very busy in the past 12 hours.

I almost feel guilty about laying in bed and having the day off. But, naaaaah.;):p

I accidently did that this morning. Granted I went to bed so I set the alarm for 9AM. It went off and I lied there for what I thought was 10 to 15 minutes. Then I look at the clock and it said 11:30 :eek: I'm glad today was my only day this week that was completly blank.

It does feel like a :rolleyes: day. I finally got e-mail from the hiring manager; I get the presentation information later today so I have a couple of days to prepare. We'll see what happens.

Good luck on you presentation. Key for webinars. Big text, few words/slide, many slides.

I've never had a job where Columbus Day was a holiday. Maybe it's different in the Northeast, but in much of the country it seems the only people who get today off are those who work for a bank, post office, or government agency. Schools, colleges, and universities in the parts of the country where I've lived or worked most of the time never take it as a holiday.

I've never had Columbus Day or MLK day off. One job had Pres. Day off (I was there for 12 years) and one other had good friday off. Otherwise it was New Years to Memorial Day with out a holiday.

I am fighting off the flu today, too much exposure at football + tailgating.

Fiancee's sister is off. Teacher in New Jersey. Easy to see why I'm pursuing that profession.

Two words: Christmas. Meltdown.

which also results in Christmas voucher gifts :cool:

Im looking forward to my UA flight the Sunday after Christmas. IAH-ORD-LGA-DCA-JFK. Where do bumps look most probable?

LGA-DCA-JFK.

Careful. That's a US connection to UAX op'ed by YV. You're dancing with the devil with that itinerary.

Not to mention you're going to have to reclear security in DCA or take the very infrequent, sometimes simply not running bus. :rolleyes:

I give your ORD - LGA flight highest probability of oversold.

Which missing the fiancee's family festivities would not make up for.

All of the banks are open in TX today, which is a good thing! I got a huge stock-pile of coins while I was out last week, and more came today. I really gotta find a way to get rid of more than 2-3k/bank trip. Even with a handful of bank runs/day, it's taking me a while to get through my reserve. I had to cave & open a Wells Fargo account yesterday so I now have 4 banks to dispose of the coins.

sbm12 or any other New Yorkers.....see my previous post about possibly meeting for a late lunch tomorrow. Anyone available??

Not I. Out of town. :rolleyes:

Is it a full moon? Lord, this place is giving me grey hairs! :rolleyes:

I just realized that tonight will be my first night ever in a HGI. :rolleyes:
