But it is all Continental's fault. After all, they could make their computers work better if they wanted to. I work in IT and I know all about major interop projects like that. :rolleyes:

Some of us say that bout IB :rolleyes:

The last time I was forcibly subjected to him (the bar had him on) he was pushing stocks that, "magically" trended upward as the president's approval rating went up. He was actually pushing stocks based on the outcome of a popular opinion poll. I wonder where he stands on those issues now...

Yeah, but we're right. :)

But seriously, the issues IB is seeing is far different than the ones CO is seeing. Not to mention the archaic systems the airlines still rely on. Those hamsters have AARP cards by now.

It actually was. The agent yesterday didn't "rehold" the rest of the itinerary like she said she was going to. :rolleyes:

Not the end of the world, but rather aggravating combined with Putzy McPutz who spent an extraordinary amount of time this morning trying to reconstruct everything.

If it is any consolation that MLE-SIN flight is short and the lounge at MLE is :rolleyes: at best, the only place to get a drink at the airport is the duty free shop, cold Tiger beer for 1 USD.

At least that lounge has a decent view of the ramp and runway, though I too found the cold Tigers. ^^
