I must say I had a lot of pity for the recent guest who was a US elite. I wanted to show him the way to a better elite program.

Yeah, apparently he is the ultimate fan-boy. He's really going to hate my next blog post.

I have now decided I'm filing a DOT complaint with US, petitioning Star for penalties since they refused to honor a fellow Star ticket and taking them to Small claims for my $441 walk-up PHX-EWR ticket.

Oh, in my state of rage I forgot, thank you for your kind words. Or as B&J would say, thank you for your support.

I made it home tonight rather hating myself, in large part due to FT. So much so that I didn't want to order dinner from a restaurant that I like because I figured the hate would rub off on the meal. Instead I had a large glass of vodka and then ordered dinner (and another glass of wodka with said dinner).

I'm still not completely happy with myself but at least I got a good meal and drunk out of the deal. :D

Sorry to hear this. Hope all is better in the morning!

I think we did, but I'm not sure where to look for it.

That airport is run by the most incompetent authority in the country, maybe the world. Any project supervised by MWAA is bound to take three times as long as projected, go sky-high over budget, and produce a result that generally does not do the job, at least until it has been shaken down for a few years.

I need to go to Northern Virginia in a few weeks and am going in there. I expect the mobile lounges near the DL gates to still be in operation since even if they do get the trains running, they will break down very quickly.

I mail in a complaint card about the Washington Flyer Taxi monopoly every time I fly into DCA or IAD ...

Usually Hyatt spits out cheaper rates for AAA than government (state or federal) on weekends.

Crappy day is now over. Tomorrow better be better.

Good night Box.

I take it no one answered your phone calls. And you have some many numbers to choose from. :D

Watching bobsledding and the sled from the land of Is Not Possible just turned in a fine run.
