I did PM CO Insider and gave him my record locator for the trip so he could look into it if he wanted to.

It shouldn't have to be that difficult.

And no, they aren't StarNet blocking. :D

Well, at least the :rolleyes: has been abated for the moment. But I think sdm1130 was right: check that PNR every day to make sure nothing has gone awry.

That's LH's thing. I got yelled at in FRA a couple years ago because I had paper tickets, which they issued me. :rolleyes:

No worries. Thanks again for stepping in and helping. I'll add you to the list of people I owe a beer to. :-:

A few months ago an agent at JFK issued me a paper ticket for one of my upcoming EWR-HNL runs. It's all UA metal and they couldn't explain why the system spit out a paper ticket.

The look on their face was priceless as the agent nor the supervisor had seen the system spit out a paper ticket in a long time.

I have weighed in on belynch's situation with sage advice. ^^^^^ I am glad everything worked out with out you having to firebomb Smith St.

AARRGGHHHHH B:rolleyes::-:

Am I the only one who thinks that the "holiday season" has been completely dissolved by advertising and marketing that is totally out of season and out of place? When I was a kid, "the holidays" started on Black Friday and ended on Three Kings Day. Now, Halloween preparation starts in July, Thanksgiving in August, and Christmas seems to be nearly year-round. Yeggggh.

I suppose it is what you make of it. Not being in a retail establishment all day, and generally avoiding them, as well as the 24x7 music on the radio and I don't get burned out on it. The only place that would burn me out would be Christmas ads during TV shows, but I haven't noticed a great amount of them. :-:

If they want to throw me enough miles to up both directions to F, I'd gladly accept it. :D

Which is my plan anyway once the Mileathon earnings post.

Oh well more money into the car. No wonder I have no money considering how much I've spent this year on my car replacing things that have just worn out due to age/mileage. I really did want to buy a new car last year.

I find it interesting that 3 area Rock Stations are playing Christmas music 24/7 and one of them started Nov 1. :( I love Christmas Carols but not for 2 months straight.

Around here that means the station will be changing format on December 26th and they've already let the entire on-air staff go. They seem to come back as light rock.

You look rather dapper in that suit.
