FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

I have a department social, webinar, will record two lectures, and then laundry day ... I did have a nice welcome gift when I came in this morning (a nice fruit basket).

Cool, i'll do that myself and see what happens.

I'm glad it's a decent chunk of EQMs and RDMs, as I have lately tried to avoid bookings that don't involve new dots, lines, carriers, or equipment on FM.

You're trying to get the Olympic-sized overflow VDBs as well, I see ^ I am almost giddy knowing that I'm flying into SEA early on the day of the Opening Ceremony.

I actually had not even thought about the Olympics... No wonder the prices are $400.

Gee thanks. :p I'm in 14A or 16A for all flights.

ALCO is weird, he switched back and forth between C and D for each flight... :rolleyes:

I think I'll find some good uses for SWUs. :-:

I actually considered the ORD connection for this reason.

I am so in for this. Though I will probably just drive from SEA.

+1, but then I remember that involved flying UA without earning 325%.

I did, as well, but I already have SFO-ORD, and DCA-ORD would almost overlap ORD-IAD (which I did on a UA DC-10, back in the day).

325%? Are you crediting to BD?!

ETA: I'm an idiot and apparently don't know how mileage earning works.

Not for this trip. I only credit UA F to BD. ;)
