(I'm assuming that Cholula is at least 4.54 billion years old [the estimated age of the Earth], given that it's already been proven on FlyerTalk that he's older than dirt.)

I'm still at a loss. How on earth could a coin be marked "257 Before Cholula" when there was nothing before Cholula?

Not really. B1900Ds are some of the ugliest planes you'll ever see, though 
In other news, while I was going for a walk downtown I got a phone call from Delta -- no, my flight's not delayed, and no, they're not revoking all of my SkyMiles The chief pilot's office out here in SLC wants me back for another semester, though! 
An hour later I was at the airport getting all of the forms signed. This is really exciting 
I will admit, however, I'm not looking forward to going through security every day until my background check clears
But I start next Wednesday!

Well, actually, I'll be on next flight on Monday Sept 23-24 PHX-DTW-BOS-ATL-PHX for redeye flight.
And 1 more trip to CLT on Monday October 7-8 PHX-DTW-CLT-ATL-PHX for next mileage runs trip. I will take redeye flight as well. I can become Silver Medallions again. This means I won't have pay $100 for second bag to EU. I can have 2 free checked bags.
