I’m having trouble desiding how to track the quality of the replies as some are likely to be hard to gauge

To avoid coal lateral damage, perhaps you can be trained to conduct a study. Hopefully the results will cause low commotion.

Chattanooga is one of the most underrated cities in the United States, in my opinion. The Tennessee Aquarium, Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls, Rock City, walk along the Tennessee River itself — there is so much to do there. You might even want to stay at the Chattanooga Choo Choo hotel, which is comprised of railroad cars...

You should ping BHammy if he's going to be around. I enjoyed CHA, would have liked to maybe spend another day there. Check out Rock City if you have the chance:

So, it seems there'z'a lot more to do there than I imagined! My trip was supposed to be one night, and, by the time I fly in, drive to UBC, shop, eat something, and drive back to CHA, it would be evening, and on the second day, there really wouldn't be much time to do anything before flying out around 1PM. I think I need 2 nights there to do it all!

That said, I think I'm gonna go to Toronto, instead.

Just had a great cabin crew in Y DTW-AMS. I was surprised at how young they were overall. I don't think I've ever seen a crew member who looked to be under 50 on that route before. I guess all those with seniority opted to not fly on Thanksgiving.

Also, what the hell did Delta do with it's catering? My food actually edible. Spinach ravioli was borderline tasty.
