I'm looking for Crystal! I'm not a huge fan of Tabasco, and we already have a decent supply of Cholula (although donations are always appreciated, Cholula 
). I'm looking to find Crystal in an airport somewhere since I can't seem to find it here in NYC (although I'll admit I haven't been looking too hard). In Buffalo I can get Anchor Bar hot sauce in the terminal I think.

Or we could have a Sauce DO.
Or a Beer and Sauce DO. We can call it the BS DO.

I am a Diamond Medallion since the inception of the program and I still have to see a standby request out of Atlanta being fulfilled. I live in Orlando and everytime I get early out of work, I have come to the realization that I need to wait for my original flight because it is impossible to get a standby seat. Today I thought it was the first time and surprise, surprise there were 6 inconvenienced travelers that bump me way back and the 6 available seats in that flight while I was number 2 in the list, became no seat for me in that flight. I have come to the realization that I will be spending 4 more hours in this airport and go to my original flight because it is very undignifying to go from gate to gate and hope to get on a plane and seeing others checking bags (which I dread) having to do that and then the final word of the agent saying that the fight is complete and all the standby will be moved to the next flight. I feel almost like a beggers asking for crums. I fly 125,000+ MQM's a year and spend 50K+ dollars in this airline and I need to beg for an early seat. Something is wrong with this.

When you are the inconvenienced traveler because you got a flat tire, I'm sure you'll appreciate them putting you ahead of everyone else on the next flight.Alternatively, just book the earlier flight...
