She loves to fly and it shows - oops wrong airline :D She had her 5th birthday and we celebrated the evening at IAH (her grandparents were flying out) - all she wanted to do was go to the P Club. We have her first flight photo with the CO jacket in the background (not staged) and she'll have lifetime Plat status by graduation at the rate she's flying. I flew some as a child then my dad stopped flying and I started flying again on my own in high school. Since our family is scattered everywhere, a plane trip is the only way there.

This just amazes me. Can we get a update on where she stands in Lifetime EQM's?

A paltry 144.020 with CO ;)

So if you thought TATL on CO's 752s was bad, it seems that AA is starting a sub-fleet 752 conversion for some of their shorter routes, and they are putting MORE seats on the plane than CO currently has. They're going 16J/166Y, so seven more seats than CO has.

Ouch.

I started in hoboken this am for soccer game 1 , then hopped on the path train and the Q train .
I then sprinted from 55 th and 7th to 60th an first ave to take pics of my friends as they got off the QB Bridge.
Then we ran back to to the west side to the finish line (which i could not get in , we only had 2 passes and the 2 wives had them ). So ran up and down central park west bribing people to give me a pass while looking for the one guy who finished earlier. He had no phone and was just walking thru the massive crowds borrowing phones to tell me where he was . I finally convinced him to wait for me and found him , once the other guy finished
we all met up.
I then took the train back to hoboken to play soccer game 2
and now my body aches like I also ran the marathon .

AA already has 166 seats in Y currently. As you said in the other thread, 3 extra seats basically where 7DEF would be on CO. The extra 4 seats are almost right at Door 2 (no A or F seat).

I was one of the yahoos up on one of the roof-tops right there.

You probably could have recognized me. I looked like :rolleyes:.

Any plans to do AVOD in the 767 fleet?

(yes, I was lazy and didn't search. That's what the box is for, right?)

I assumed not but was promptly corrected. Apparently they are the last in line.

IIRC, They are doing the -400's but not the -200's. This will be when they install the next generation of BusinessFirst.

All this talk about MRs out of PHL makes me sad. I may have been on every flight # between PHL and IAH on CO and US for the last 1½ years. #776 seemed to be a very quiet flight. And, the even earlier flight out of PHL - IAH, #1677, that leaves anywhere from 5:30am to 6:00am, depending on what CO likes to do with it. Ugh! I hated that flight. Now, all these good MRs out of PHL. I had to do one to put me at silver out of BWI at the end of September. Now, here I am in the land of not many good MRs (IAH).

Are all the flights to/from PHL and Houston on -800s?
