At least those are the ones I can see. ME technically isn't covered yet but that's because I'm lazy, not because it isn't really there.

I'm almost certain that there are more countries covered than states.

I can contribute MO. Did ORD-SGF a few times this year. Just need to look up dates/tail #/etc off my old itins

Cool, thanks!

A bit of a sick day for me as I try to nip this cold in the bud so it doesn't get worse.

That is one of my fav clubs in the system. I like that it is unique, has a great view and, most importantly, some of the best agents. It used to be my #2 after LGW but, well, ya know.

Abso-freaking-lutely.

Really, top notch. It's really dulling the pain of my CXL flight and rebook on C:rolleyes:C:rolleyes:.

Speaking of which, the whirely-bird just arrived.

Morning, box.

Someone remarked about NE on the BoxFM, but I'm too lazy to go back and find the quotable material ;)... I took care of that addition last night with an IAH-OMA earlier in the year. :D

Multi-quote, but y'all had like 500 posts last night. I didn't even bother with the last couple hundred. :rolleyes:

When in Hawaii? I'm in HNL next weekend (23ish)

There is a sand beach in Maine, too. Farthest north in the CONUS.

I'm sitting on 74,779 EQMs right now - do you think that's close enough to warrant a phone call to CO asking for a favor? I'm flying EWR-DEN and back next weekend, and would love to enjoy the Platinum place in the upgrade line on either or both of those legs (I wouldn't even get it for the 2nd as it stands now, as the flights are 3 days apart).

This is the perfect example of a reason to call and ask.

Look out for the photo forum mod, he might sneak some before giving it to you. :-:

I won't be sneaking anything. I'll have one for myself open and sitting on the cart for consumption while working. ;)

You might consider coming out to ORD the night before. It is going to be a LONG day on Tuesday.

I had a co-worker who was working in DC for ~6 months. I got assigned to the project at that point and booked in on the same EWR-DCA-EWR flights as him. We were on our way to the airport my first week there and I mentioned the PC. He insisted that one didn't exist. He'd been spending his own money on beer all that time. :eek: :td:

After our second week the staff knew us on sight and the bartender always had our drinks ready between when we waved hello and put our bags down to go pick them up. Top notch. ^^^

:p

I think its only for 2009... from what I saw... just wanted to add a little 'diversity' to the map ;)

Didn't realize how dedicated of a boxer you were either :p

And yes... very nice wine!

We don't have as many roads in Alaska as the lower 48... so it is a novelty to drive :p

Typically I fly to my destinations ;) Driving across state lines is such a weird concept :p

Welcome to the Box, ArizonaGuy. Great to have you here.

We are all ecstatic for ConciergeMike. But, of course, envious too! Wouldn't we all have loved to win that trip!! But, it's cool that our very own CM won, and he will regale us with tales galore.

Morning, Box.

Had an interesting flight last night. Got on UAX ORD-STL (and burned a soon-to-be-worthless e500 to sit up front in 1A on a CR7 for free booze). I noticed the plane looked awfully clean. Then, the FA announced that we were the first revenue service for the flight - it had just been ferried down from Canuckistan. That's why it was so clean - no feet on the bulkhead. ^

Just out of curiousity, I took a look at the certificates up front. Sure enough, the FAA certificate for the plane was date-stamped from 10/14.

Nice flight - I don't often fly UAX operated by GoJet, but I was very impressed with the crew.

Hi, Beckoa. Nice to see you in the Box!

Sorry I'm flying back to AUS this afternoon, I'd suggest a beverage otherwise. :)

Thanks for the almost-offer - I'd unfortunately have to decline, since I'm visiting the family, and today's my 5-year wedding anniversary.

Unfortunately, Mrs. bdj might have the flu. :(

Don't forget the UA event at ORD that lasts from ~7:30am-10:00am.
