The CO Globe design could be shopped onto the texture of Mr. Peanut's belly. The monocle would also be pretty cool. :-:

This.

As an aside, I've been in a Planter's facility before. Who needs a ramekin of warmed nuts when you can get them fresh from the roaster? :-:

CO buying Kraft, that would be quite something, really diversify the business :D

On board roasting coming soon?
i want spanish raw peanuts fresh roasted, love em!`

same here.

If they bought Kraft outright, that would mean I'd get employee travel benefits. ^

Yes, they definitely would allow connections in YYZ or YUL, but I opted for something else. What irks me is that they allowed me to connect in FRA to get to LHR, which technically also could be considered a backtrack, but the "computer" would not allow the helpful supervisor to book DCA-ORD-ZRH/FRA because it was a backtrack. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Not a bad idea. I know we have benchtop roasters that would be the appropriate size.

We can't unfortunately bring fresh Nabisco products onto the plane. An Oreo oven is roughly the length of a football field.

Hostile takeover by Continental Venture Partners....buying a company with a marketcap 40x you own, would need a lot of equity capital.

on the other hand, I am not sure why some companies that do a lot of shipping DON'T buy an airline. Coke/Pepsi/Kraft could all be candidates for buying a passenger airline and using it for shipping goods many times, while using their own product lines on the onboard experience.

I hardly ever originate on teh East Coast, so can't really say whether that's a common response from BD. I would urge you to post in the ICC Shenanigans thread over in BD-land, to inquire whether that is indeed an invalid routing. It just doesn't sound right, but who knows.

I do know that CO allowed me to route IAH-SEA-YVR-AMS-DFW-IAH for 80K, even though there was availability on IAH-AMS nonstops. :D

Imagine a can of ezcheese per row :D

I can't believe that you are now a rocker chick. Go mama. I'd tell you to break a leg but for some reason, at our age, we probably would! I know if I was still walking around in high (yes those slut shoes) heels I would be in the hospital in traction. :D

Baggage service is a great place to work. Sure the people might cuss me out but atleast they have a good reason to, whereas my co-workers calling me out as a non team player have zero reason to and I have to be "nice" about it. :td:

Life outside of work is good. My daughter is almost enrolled in college. My son's football team is in the playoffs and hopefully he won't miss anymore point after kicks or have them blocked. He failed at one kick and had another block at the Big Game on Saturday. It didn't make any difference until the 4th quarter when the other team scored two touchdowns and then the score was 19-20. I started looking for a way to sneak out. Then our quarterback threw a stupid interception and I started sitting up straighter. End result was the team wanted this win and scored again with seconds left to play. They won their division and a place in the playoffs.

Welcome to the Middle Seat.

It has made it to the UA forum, too. I get that they don't want to lose a benefit, but they also need to consider that they need customers so the company has to be competitive.
And you have PMUs that are essentially useless. No thanks. Either skip 'em or provide real value in the benefit.
Ditto. Gonna be that way through the end, too.
US/AA but I can't believe that anyone would go anywhere near US. WAY too toxic on the labor relations front.

Sorry for the multi-quote, but FT hasn't worked all afternoon and I'm not going to risk 5 random posts actually being functional.
