FlyerTalk Forums - The Penalty Box

Sometimes I think it is something as petty as spite. I used to have a manager that I swear went over our expenses with an electron microscope, because he was pulled off the road when he took the position and lost all his juice with airlines and hotels. I think he was envious of our traveling. It sounds ridiculous, but if you knew this :rolleyes: you would know what I mean.

I thought that might be a part of it since I really do feel like I'm under the microscope but I heard from a co-worker that she's getting the same level of :rolleyes: that I am....and we're the two most senior people on the team.

Joy, our flight to CLT is in an ATC hold.

Why can't airlines publish honest times in FLIFO, why must it be 'on-time' until you get to the gate when they know ahead of time.

Are you flying US? They never are honest about their delays, especially if you aren't flying mainline. (I have had US Express flights that showed on time up until they were cancelled, 30 minutes after the supposed departure time.)

I now have alot of household things, like two sofa cushions and legs of furniture, that have the characteristics. I also had to replace her lease for the same reason. :D

I can understand not taking a trillion Zimbabwean dollars, but pounds, euros, yen, yuan, and indian rmb are pretty stable currency these days. and xe.com helps you know amounts :D

I think it might have something to do with "this is the USA, not Europe"-we don't think well outside the box. :D ;)

I ended with 36 mileathon credits (all flying) but I think some have to be missing since I got ZERO for OLCI yet I've checked in for every single CO flight without exeption either on a PC or on my phone with a mobile BP. Oh well.

I have no idea what's going on here, but the line into the DFW PC was out the door into the hallway (I think the IAH flight went MX). Now they just called 'last call' (at 6:30 pm), and the line at the bar is just as long. Good thing I have an in with the bartender :p

Looks like it is extremely delayed due to the weather.

It left IAH on time but it's flight plan is set to take it out over San Angelo and then back to DFW. I guess they're hoping the weather will clear by then.

As I entered the DFW PC tonight...

As I walked in the door to the PC tonight, Brian, one of the great PC agents, was making an announcement about one of the EWR flights. He saw me walk in the door, and the announcement became:

"For anyone traveling to Newark tonight, if you would like to be moved to the earlier flight, please come to the front and Mr. COFlyerCLE will take care of you."

I laughed. I must be here too often if they know my name.

Of course, I moved all of those PX to AA and filed a new flight plan for that 737 to CLE.

:D
