in a PPV deathmatch.

Morning folks. Lately i feel like i've been living on a plane.

A big ^ to the RCC agent who upgraded my S ticket to LHR. :D

FYI - Openflights.org now allows you to import screenshots of your FM Data. It took me less than half an hour to get my OpenFlights Page up and running.

Got our return NRT seats changed to 1A&1B. ^ Only took one call.

And I'm glad I finagled that upgrade back in August, because if it was now I wouldn't have done it. :D

I haven't traveled for almost 2 weeks and I don't have a trip planned for 2 more weeks ^. It was self imposed and needed. Unfortunately, at the end of my monthlong travel free time, the floodgates open and I have constant travel until right before Thanksgiving (I hope to take that entire week off) and at least three trips in Dec. I may miss being Co* 4th quarter, but I don't think the world will come to an end ;)

Whoa. How is it 415pm on a Friday and this is my first visit to the Box.

I must have actually done (a lot of) work today. Yowzers.

If you guys hear of a distraught passenger on a EWR - MC:rolleyes: flight on Monday throwing screaming children out the emergency exit think of me. :o

Indeed...time for a very large drink.

I just got a letter from NY State informing me that I am, by their judgment, in violation of the Workers Comp insurance statutes and that they've been assessing a fine on me for 3 months but have just now decided to notify me of this. And the number is rather large (5 digits). Fortunately I'm not actually subject to the requirements and I will not have to pay the fine, but that is definitely enough to scare me into drinking heavily right now. :eek:

I'm jealous. I did my OpenFlights "import" before they got that part working. Took me much longer to do mine, though it did let me identify errors and omissions on the FM pages.

I prefer OF's rendition of Hawaii flights to that of FM. However, I still prefer FM Premium overall. Good grief... I either need some OCD meds or a large glass of rum[FN1]

FN1 - See Senate Bailout Bill, Sec. 308 ("INCREASE IN LIMIT ON COVER OVER OF RUM EXCISE TAX TO PUERTO RICO AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS.")

The new Yankee Stadium is amazing! I can't wait to catch a game there in the spring!

I got a tour of the inside today and saw where all of the new restaurants and lounges will be. Also got to go below the stands and see the practice areas and the Yankee clubhouse. Very cool.

Front row seat at field level - $2500 a game. :eek: The second row drops to $850.

Good day Box...the computer crapped the bed again and I spent a good chunk of today laptop shopping. Might buy, might not...this is the old desktop's last chance.

I did all of my catch-up Box reading like a good boy and I too am wondering where my badge and gun is. :D

I bring nothing else to the table today - I'm extremely bummed over the computer, I'm back to being on a borrowed laptop, and I think some recent events have finally gotten to me to the point that it's time to get back on the couch...so I'm in the process of finding out whose specific couch that should be.

I'm an upper deck virgin...VS 744 is the only 744 I've had. In Y, back section, EWR-LHR.

On the upside, I walk for my degree Saturday morning, and the following Thu/Fri I'm in ATL for NJD v. ATL. Hockey season is right around the corner!!!

Edited: My national res went from $17 to $157 - no email. :mad:, :rolleyes: - too good to be true.
