Yesterday I had a coworker going BNA-ATL-DFW. He was IVDB'd from his flight (And got $800 and a F seat later...)
Anyway, he recounted Miranda Lambert, Lionel Ritchie, and Billy Ray Cyrus all trying to get BNA-ATL. He ended up with someone from CSI: New York on his flight (in Y...) Though I'll have to find out the name. He referred to him as "that squirrely looking guy..."

If I was making $15 million per year for five years (what she was making on her CBS contract until May 2011), or over $10 million per year going forward (what has been reported for her new ABC contract), I would have a membership with NetJets/Marquis Jets, or some other fractional ownership situation. For somewhere in the neighborhood of $200-400K per year, which would be about 2-4% of her present income, she could probably cover all of her travel transportation needs through fractional ownership (plus whatever her new employer will pay for her travel). It actually surprises me that Katie Couric flies regular commercial.

Who are you referring to as "The Catch me if you can dude?" Frank Abagnale, Jr? (the guy the movie and musical is based on, and who wrote the original book) Leonardo Dicaprio? (the actor who played him in the movie) Aaron Tveit? (the actor who is playing him in the current Broadway musical)

flights out of BNA were heavily oversold this weekend due to Bonnaroo and CMA music fest....I saw Lionel Richie on ATL-BNA on Sunday.
A lot of country artistes/ celebs were at the airport on Sunday and monday tryna get out.

Hippy Poseurs... We had hoped to kill the hippy and disco thing with the US punk movement, but everyone sold out or died and hippy's have mutated into a form of human dollarweeds... eventually they eat enough acid and either slide right into yuppydom or end up cooking pizzas at fellinis....
