ALCO, thanks for the tip on all black. I came to Teh Box after consulting with my closet, and decided to go that very route. Black pinstripe suit, black shirt, and one out of my assortment of dark pattern ties.

That's a dangerous combination.

I was about to type that W's hire on personality, but after reflecting on my stays at W's, I thought better of that. Unless of course the personality they are looking for is aloof, in which case I recommend you show up 20 minutes late to your interview, answer every question in French, and insult your interviewer.

DL is scared of *A at the moment so they are trying to beef-up to combat them.

Remember, if all else fails, wipe out a competitor.

I'm still skeptical that the deal will get Anti-trust ammunity. DL is now the second largest carrier at NRT and this would clearly :rolleyes:Team too much control of NRT.

Of course, this could be why *A is looking at growing HND and if that happens, DL managed to screw themselves.

So, in a way, I'd like to see this go through so we can witness the shooting of the foot.

But overall it is a nice lounge with very limited hours.

I had scrambled eggs, myself. I did notice that sign, and didn't think anything of it. At the lounge at the Airport Sheraton, the attendant actually offered me fried eggs personally.

Didn't notice the booze, although someone was having a beer at 9 am.

¡Buena suerte!

Hell, they'd make him the manager if he did that.

Mrs. bdj was considering going back for a Master's in Library/Info Science. If she had the right glasses, she could pull off the hot librarian look. :-:

I don't have a scheduled appointment; it's that bastion of loveliness known as the talent fair. Their concierge job has been posted two or three times now, and I'm leery given my assumption that at least one member of the NYCAHC probably gave the job a test-drive and left it.

I don't believe myself to be the type that W is seeking, but it's a great gig that I'm willing to drive two hours each way for a shot at.

Morning box. Sitting in the waiting room...my dad had knee replacement surgery...should be able to see him in 20. Live w/ Regis & Kelly is on...to prevent myself from getting dumber I'm on FT.

Posted in EK's seat guide, figured I'll ask here, too. Seatguru doesn't show a row 42 on the A380, yet the EK rep said that's my row. Any insight? Flight is in March.

Hope everyone's having a good one.

So the vibe to shoot for is that I'm too cool for the room? Seriously? I hate that vibe.
