It may have been best you took the car ride back and not the train. I missed the train by one minute, had to wait 50 minutes and then we blew by Linden and that caused 20 minute delay as they had to deal with all the paper work to back up a quarter mile to let people off.

We'll have many many more tomorrow. Maybe around the new year they'll drop off.

My Path train was delayed as well

Hellllooooo Box!

Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes! I had a great birthday. Also, had a fun time the evening before at the Palm DO in NYC. Was great to finally meet some Boxers in person- Scott6067, Rolov - loved meeting you guys and had fun talking with you.

Also nice to meet Cova, Airtrain, AndyLi,HeathrowGuy and Rd something or other!!

Great to see Olton Hall and Steph3n, xyzzy and fabulous Mrs. xyzzy again too.

Steph3n - thanks for the cheese and pralines. Yummy, yummy, yummy.

It was fun to meet you as well and the others that were there. It was nice to know many of yall as it made it easier to remember the new people. I am getting old and I am starting to call people by others names. :)

With CO, UA and US now covering the US, it just makes sense for CO to be the back-up/East Coast airline for me when not flying AA and have the *A power internationally. If UA/CO offers SWUs good on all classes (with EUA and reciprocal upgrades) then I would move all my business over very likely. AA has just a phenomenal FFP for the top tier IHMO, but its route network to the East Coast is rough based in CLT.

Welcome on board!!

A couple had an a little infinity-sign logo, but never, IIRC, was there any other difference from the other gold-then-plat cards.

I like the Valid for Life part!!

I do like the new CO cards with the new globe. Also got my Mortons steakhouse card as well today. Now to wait and see when my new CCs come from Chase.

I may go in early so i can watch the webcast in the morning :)

Hardly a surprise. CO was on the panel TVs as a *A partner back around Labor day and probably prior to that around when they moved over to the B gates.

HP's are OK,

The driver problems they present are a fiasco. Truly miserable.

Yup. No one reads stickies. Sad but true.

It will also relax a bit when some actual information to all of the burning questions is released. I'm hoping we'll see some of that go live over the next 12 to 18 hours but one never knows. Usually CO Insider gives some sort of preview here for major policy introductions/changes before they go live on CO.Com but we have seen nothing, likely due to legal obligations in leaving SkyTeam me thinks. Once that happens, it can go in the Sticky thread and I personally will be directing errant threads there in as kind and welcoming a manner as I can muster.
