Yeah they certainly did. Here's to hoping others match from their hubs.

One of the things I stress (to colleagues and students) is simply stay within the rules that are laid out. I remind individuals that if they don't benefit from a program, they are subsidizing that program (public and private sector).

I've tried the first one with limited success and the second is not yet true, but the miles from this trip may go a long way toward that.

I agree 110%, but it just annoys me when the airlines do not stay within their own rules, like SWISS and BA.

I will be ever so happy if the *A gang tries to stick it to SkyTeam USA in DTW! :)

Are any of the Twitterati aware of a virus infection attempt or scam involving a direct message about the sender's IQ? I find it hard to believe that lucky9876coins feels the need to tell me how smart he is.

Like many other airports, there are plenty of gates available. At BNA we still have a closed concourse (D) from when this was an AA hub despite tons of WN flights.
