Yes, the other BCS bowl eligible teams that didn't get in the party.

It is a suddenly good game.

I've flown them 3X the past two years and didn't enjoy at all. :td:

*Now - my only beef is that I was booked in F on all three and I was presented with *0* meals, even at meal time. I learned to (not) love the carbo-basket. Ick. :p

It has been a good game though. Both of these teams would give UT or Bama some shivers, it wouldn't be the blowout that FL and cincy turned out to be.

Cincy stole a BCS slot from those teams.

I think BSU and TCU however, have been more tested over the last years than Cincy, to show they are real and not a fluke. they are willing to play anyone anytime.

Yep, and the rest of the seats are even worse. I can't stand the enormous armrests in on the aisle and window seats that can't be raised and are too low to really be useful if you're tall — and then they went and put an IFE audio control on those armrests that protrudes into the seat about half an inch, further limiting the useful width. And then there's the lack of knee room and metal bar in the seat back pocket that drives into my knees. Those seats are just awful. Slapping a new blue leather cover on them may make them look a little better, but it did nothing to fix the real problems with them.

Those are awful too, just in other ways.

My two Northwelta experiences this year weren't that bad. The blue leather seats on an A319 in the exit row were not atrocious save for the partial armrest bolted to the wall that poked me uncomfortably. EWR-AMS-EWR in Y on the A330 was lightyears better than doing that trip in CO Y.

So the rumor has stared JAL climbing into DL's bed. Though it appears to be pure rumor.

Trustguy Jan 4, 2010 9:46 pm

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a ball game -- pass interference... :eek:

So it's unanimous. The only good planes DL has are the 77Ls. :D

Those rumors have been popping up for the last week.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was DL spreading those rumors.

I don't think AA can afford to lose this fight.
