WN doesn't bother me because I set my expectations correctly. Part of WN's culture is to under promise and over deliver. Find me an originating flight and put me on a BS fare so I can get 1D and I'm good to go.

As an FYI for those who have SkyTeam USA accounts to potentially "household" - they are offering a 50% bonus on transfers now. If you've been looking to clear out multiple accounts within the family to end up with a premium class award ...

Cool!! I hope to find a copy in town. I think I may be in there as well! :)

I'm OK flying WN but don't pay for early boarding - I just wanted to use cheaply-acquired credits / VDB funds to get non-stop HOU-BNA on the 8th. My non-stop IAH-BNA option involves the swear-word "ERJ".

I don't think that they are on the newsstands yet. These copies were acquired direct from the publisher's office in NYC.

After racquetball I will have marinated pork chops, even down to orange zest (and yes, the oranges came from a Hyatt Place).

At least your bags will be "luved" and they fly for free.

WN has mishandled my bags the last two times I checked them. On non-stop flights.

Luved them so much they wanted to spend more time with them.

In other news, I'm munching on a bag of Planters. I normally don't eat peanuts, not even when flying. Must be the :rolleyes: at work today getting to me.

Now I'm really off to play some racquetball.

What exactly were you expecting that you didn't get? I guess I'm jaded by life long Y travel.;):p

I applied for it...the :eek: is more of I need to start doing prepwork for it now - initial interview is on Thursday. I feel really confident about my stuff and have been prepping for this possibility for the past 2-3 weeks, but once there's a hard date/time, it's a different feeling.

Really hope I get it - it'd be a step towards where I'd like to be eventually and the job sounds a lot nicer than the role I'm currently in (which is way too structured/regimented/execution-type stuff for my liking - the new role would be more of a planning position).

None in the local Borders and B&N today when I stopped in.

I did manage to snag the last two 12-packs of Pepsi throwback at Target though :D
