Gaggias are nice.

Air Wisconsin is one of their regional operators.

I don't think Air Wisconsin actually operates any UA Express flights anymore. They had a breakup a few years ago and Air Wisconsin went to US.

However, Air Wisconsin has recently taken over the ground ops for the UA Express flights out of Terminal A at IAD.

The hilarious thing about this is that the guy would have been boarding F on either a CR7 or E70. It's not like this was a really classy flight. It was a glorified RJ operating an hour long flight.

Goodbye BlackBerry (for personal use), hello Android.

So far I'm liking it. Wish they'd hurry up and get my new data plan activated though.

Yeah. Now that I brought it up, I think UA may also be launching MAF-DEN. I think they see the potential for increased Texas traffic from CO joining :-:.

They announced DEN-MAF.

I wouldn't be too shocked if DEN-LBB happened at some point, and possibly a return of DEN-AMA service.

Is it the new Verizon phone? That looks like a pretty sweet phone.

I swear I heard somewhere that UA was considering launching these routes. Don't recall if it was on FT, A.nut, or via drunken Micro DO musings from :rolleyes:.Edward or elsewhere. Am scouring teh toobz now for any sort of official announcement, but not seeing anything. I distinctly recall having a conversation or posting session discussing UA's desire to tap into other Texas markets after the CO tie-in.

I know I mentioned the possibility of DEN-LBB/AMA either on here or over beers last month.

Friendly follow-up email to diamond dot club at flybmi dot black-hole of uncertainty sent. :-:

And I'm still BD Blue. I really take e-mail to Customer Service as indicative of my expectations of the company.

I'm on the T-Mobile version of it, the CLIQ. They're quite similar in many ways though.

Data was working on it until I had to call and switch from the BlackBerry data plan to the Android data plan. I was told "Anywhere from 2 to 48 hours." That was almost 2 hours ago. I'm hoping it's a lot closer to the 2 than the 48. Right now it's a glorified text messaging and phone call device.

Integrity of office sites / rental space for field offices?

That's the special program for those of us who acquire status on cheap fares by taking advantage of generous routing rules that allow a tour of all UA domestic hubs in a single day to fly between two cities less than 500 miles apart during a double EQM promotional period.

Ewwww. E+ on TED is actually okay. ^

E+ on Ted is better than E+ on many non-Ted planes.

They did. But they've already returned a bunch of them, and the rest will be gone soon enough.
