You have to love an airport where you can walk from the economy parking lot to the terminal in under 2 minutes and be at the gate about 5 minutes after that.

When I was last there, GJA had no terminal. A boat dropped you off near the edge of the runway, and if it was raining there was something that looked like a bus-shelter (with a corrugated-metal roof) that you could duck under.

Is it time to start the shaming circle again? We finally peer-pressured :rolleyes:.Edward to get onboard. :-:

I've taken to completing my weekly FM before I do my expense report every Friday.

I've been called sad and pathetic as I try to capture a tail number at the gate, but I'm learning to live with the shame ;)

Tracert reports the server in PHX, and I do have somewhat of an odd routing but not enough to take fifteen to twenty seconds to render a page. I don't think the issue is on my side but I could be wrong.

Hmmmm I wonder if I am hitting bandwidth issues....


ETA: Nope, my corporate site seems fine and my account doest have any flags, so it must be wordpress. I will have a look this weekend. Thanks for the heads up.

ABE is far more glamorous but still a very easy airport to fly in and out of.

ABE-CLE tonight is not a new line, but CLE-MSP later on will be. ^

IME, that sounds about right. :rolleyes:

You can pretend to send a text message as you enter the tail number as a new contact into your phone. That way, no one knows what a freak you are. :-:

Thats why I do not mind driving to ERI or CAK for cheaper flights. It is like a dream!

I have the captain write it down for me. Works like a charm even though I look like an ubergeek.

The :-: transition can't come soon enough. At least I'll have more partners to choose from for redemption.

US is pretty good about having the certificate above 1L, so you can just glance up and copy it down.

UGH, 297 has an unspecified MX delay and they're searching for a replacement plane. Not how I wanted to start my weekend in LAS, but maybe they find a 753 so my wife & I get upgraded (or something smaller than a 739 so we can take a bump). And I hope we don't lose our exit rows over this...

This happened to me in August. Don't recall the ship numbers involved, but the swap was quick and painless. We were pushed over to an inbound 753 from SEA. No downgauge, so I kept my EUA. :D

Agreed!

Does a 90 min MX delay (from 4-530PM) for a 3 hr flight without a meal necessitate a meal voucher.... The PC agent won't go for it :(

Alrighty, off to IAH for the weekend. Have a good 'un, Box.

Unfortunately, I would say no as well.
