:eek: What are they sinking? :-:

Eh, I guess. I'm burned out on it. I enjoyed it more pre-Katrina. It hasn't been nearly the same since.

Reports coming in that Highlands is taking it in the pooper from Yeti. Accumulations already beginning, a full 01:30 before the changeover to snow was even supposed to happen.

I was thinking about that too. But aren't there too many weight restrictions? Unless they route the a/c for an inbound 738 to turn to IAH. Which generally isn't how CO likes to roll.

It is not unusual to have CO do a positioning flight from LAX to SNA which opens up some opportunities.

Way back when, for a month or so, there was a scheduled 73G that flew SNA-LAX. It was in the GDSes, so one could buy a ticket, but sadly I could never get the fare rules to allow me to do SNA-LAX-SBP or something on the American Eagle codeshares from LAX.

There's a vendor in concourse C at MSY that will sell you a nuked sausage biscuit and bottled soda for more than $10 in the mornings for breakfast.

I didn't even catch the prices on this last night until after ordering and was told the total. I don't really have a "per diem" — I'm reimbursed actual expenses. So it really doesn't matter that much to me, but it's still ridiculous. But it was either that or hold out for the UA pasta on the plane, and despite the cost, the shrimp poboy was pretty damn good. I can't say the same about the UA domestic F pasta.

Absolutely bucketing down in Downtown now. If the ground were frozen, this would be piling up several inches per hour.

+1. 99% of all my trips there were post-katrina. Did not care for it and honestly it was pretty scary at times.

I purposefully haven't planned anything for that weekend. Just in case. :D

I am tentatively scheduled for a 739 on EWR-SFO, so there is a possibility of LiveTV for the first half. The same thing happened to me in 2007 when I caught the end of the Fiesta Bowl (OU vs Boise State) at SFO. ^

Not much of anything right now. They want to get the building capped and sealed so at least they are not paying down the road for environmental cleanup and wind/rain damages in the building.

It is hard enough to find good labor in the Absecon Island/ACY/Atlantic County area, and local residents are all too familiar with the casinos' outlook toward their employees. The only upside is that if the new building does open as planned, they can suck up a good amount of the thousands that were laid off, and siphon off some of those still employed. I have heard of people with steady casino gigs taking a leave of absence to work at a new property just to see if they like it better.
