Same Everything

For the past Three years now i have flown on the exact same flight out of sna to cvg non stop I do this to see family around christmas and I have always arrived at the same exact gate at cvg and even the same rental car from hertz all by luck. Sadly that flight has ended forcing me to take the lax flight instead.

Did you eat the same food, have the same gas in the car and wear the same underwear? Delta would have probably kept the route.

well, sadly, getting the same car from hertz three years in a row certainly sounds believable these days...

On second thought, in these troubled economic times, a sense of continuity is important. Though President Obama may preach that change is good, I beg to differ. Continutiy is important.

On a Delta note, if they would change to providing meals on all 2 1/2+ hour mealtime flights, that would be Change I could believe in

Part of the CVG downsizing I suppose. It was a great little hub, I will miss it.
