I am flying out on a Tuesday morning, but the flight fills up because of the PPAI show that week. I have found EUA to be hit or miss on the way out, but I rarely received an upgrade on the nonstop comming home. Right now I am booked on the 2:39 on the return flight to EWR, but I will try to SDC and connect though IAH if it will secure me a seat up front and a few extra miles and even a 762 ;)

Wow! for "security" reasons UA has shut off the overhead panels (lights, FA call buttons,etc) on their Trans Pac. 747's.

Do me a favor and ask the significant :rolleyes:v this question (since she's the NY Times guru).

Can they "refuse" a vacation hold?

I submitted one for when I was up in Globe + :rolleyes: territory and they emailed me back a few days later saying they couldn't accommodate my request. Sure enough, I had a pile of papers in front of my house when I got home.

I didn't realize that, that was an option.

What the :rolleyes: is up with that?

Im sending it over to her.

I kicked them to the curb when I moved, but not before I got an ounce of revenge back. Since my house is new construction it wasn't pre-wired for cable. I called up Cablevision and told them I wanted to start service at the new address.

They sent someone out there and wired the house and connected it to the pole. I then canceled the service before it started. :-:

That was a fun disconnect conversation. :D

I don't mind paying more for FioS. At all.

You can mount the sensor bar immediately below the TV too. There's an option in the Settings screen for the Wii that lets you specify whether the sensor bar is above/below the TV. I don't know how far below you can go, though.

I've done dozens of vacation holds without a problem and then this one gets kicked back for some reason. I did it 3 days in advance too. Their rule is 24 hours.

I've had them require 2 days notice for a hold and push very hard for me to donate the missed issues for educational use (i.e., donation at schools) instead of extending the subscription -- which I sometimes do but don't like a pushy sell to do.

I see the :rolleyes: is messing up domestic travel for CO. The EWR-Florida routes that the 752's go on after a TATL appear to have delays because of late arriving aircraft to EWR.

I can't stand them. I signed up for they auto pay two months ago, but it never went though and I didnt know it. I never received any email or postal mail that my bills was past due. Well they cut me right off with out any notice. It was my fault to not notice the bill went unpaid for two months, but they could have sent a late notice or an email or somthing. I can't wait to get rid of them, but FIOS is not available in lovely Paterson yet :rolleyes:

LIARS, the FAs just don't want to respond to the call button.

My students get access to Investor's Business Daily through the subscriber donation program - WSJ requires that students buy the paper and then would give me the free subscription.

Fantastic! We actually wound up breaking out some material we probably haven't done in 5+ years but with our last-minute absence and substitution, you do what you have to.
