Cool. I have had ZN on my EUA tickets for a while now and heard talk of FE during the dinner.

ZN should only be on B/M-Ups issued prior to 3 October or on slEasyPass redemptions. The EUA bucket is yet a third one. Are you seeing otherwise?

I've found that no matter how much damage I do at night (so long as no port is involved), a bottle of water before bed cures anything.

In other news... when will The Mint's accounting group call me back?? I want my coins :mad:

I don't think that I have ever flown US (New or Old) I do need to try them for myself and get another airline. I will actually be getting 3 possibly 4 new airlines with the StarMegaDO!!

Water is great way to solve hangover. I have a friend that swears by Nutter Butters. I think it is the fat in them that helps him.

I would have thought that DL would run (not walk) away from the vicinity of CO and UA would relocate... but that doesn't seem to be happening.

Any insight?

That is interesting but from what i hear from friends at CO not uncommon for DL/NW to be .....y about the disolvement of union.

Rotary and errand time...later on, y'all.

That reminds me I need to try and find out if I flew Braniff once and also make sure I have a TED flight in FM!

icurhere2, didn't you say you have some contract that changes currency at 1.50?

By now, the back to back should be moot. Send.

So the money my Aunt gave me from our Brussels trip this past weekend is now worth more than it was on Friday. She gave me a good amount of money too!! That will come in handy for StarMegaDO trip!!

On the plus side, EAU cleared, and this is my first flight with DTV(ship-513)
Looks like it's going out with 5 empties up here too.

That is all

WOW on the FC empties!! Well it Wednesday.

Yeah, I had no clue of the history either. The storyline has been a neat part of the season.

None of the historic landmark early Hiltons in Texas are still operated by the Hilton company though; a few are still open as hotels, including the Dallas property, which Intercontinental has now as a Hotel Indigo. The original hotel, in Frisco, Texas, is a local museum.


I had forgotten about the Texas roots. I have been through the Hilton Hotel lobby where the hospitality Hall of Fame is located. Very cool!!

It is broken. I haven't received a CO EUA e-mail in well over a month. ;)

I have five separate segments (different tickets) that were EUAed and have ZN on them.

You must be on the phone with Atlanta. Welcome to the new DL.

Mackieman Oct 21, 2009 1:27 pm

Alrighty, offer letter and supporting documentation signed and returned. :D

Indeed I am... she also said:

1) CO is no longer part of SkyTeam
2) CO elites can no longer receive preferred seats (after being told CO is still in ST)
3) Only DL and NW elites can be placed in preferred seats

I directed her to the ST site and now I am waiting for either a supervisor or a click

Yep. In a stroke of genius at the time, US reacted to WN's growth at BWI, and FL's entry into the market, by taking a bunch of old gas guzzling 737-200s, ripping out first class, putting in more coach seats, and flying them around with crews poached from mainline. They also replaced mainline flights with Metrojet, mostly shifting existing customers to the new "airline," rather than generating new customers, and did all this with a CASM that was slightly lower than the mainline US CASM, but still higher than WN's CASM. What possibly could have gone wrong with this brilliant plan? :rolleyes:

Nothing about that surprises me. I am so done with DL. I just hope they don't do anything to screw up our award reservation next month, especially since the first two segments involve a DL/CO interline. We won't be checking any bags on that one.

That sucks. Where have you been flying since then?

I was mainly referring to the fact I haven't set foot on a CO aircraft since September 18, despite having had 21 flights since then.
