My wife used to work for the UK HealthCare Endoscopy Center. More than most people at the University of Kentucky they seemed to care a lot about the comings and goings in people's lives. It seems like they were the butt of a lot of jokes though.

Delta Upgrade Question
I previously have exclusively flown with United but this year have switched and will be trying Delta. I only have Silver Medallion Status but I am interested in learned from more experienced Delta flyers how the "upgrade" process works. My first flight is next week. One leg of my RT is booked in C+ and one in regular Y. Upon booking there was the part that I had the choice to Opt-In for an upgrade to C+ and to First..... How does this process actually work? can you choose to only upgrade to First from Y if you have an exit row etc?....
Thanks in advance.

So the DC area is getting 60-70mph winds tomorrow.
Might as well close the airports. DCA definitely isn't happening.

It's pretty warm this week near MSP, but not sunny today.
I just walked past a small job fair event and I'm laughing at the scene: They had banners hanging down from a high ceiling for each participating company (with logos and lettering for Target, Amazon, etc.) and those banners were all in the shape of ARROWS POINTING DOWN. (It wouldn't give a potential recruit an optimistic preview of things to come.) Funny.
If DL had been represented, I would have taken a picture to post here. I wonder whether the widget would have been pointing up on the down arrow.

*walks into lounge with head down and walks straight to the bar* I am not sure if I am here because I feel I need to confess a sin or I need moral support. Either way I am feeling traumatized. Long story short I am moving to Texas (that part is good) and that means no more MSP and accepting DFW as home. I had hoped and still hope that I can stick with DL (at least short term since I have an amex and a sky club membership) but my first trip is to Houston and DL doesn't go there from DFW (wouldnt even ticket with connections). So I *gulp* signed up for a FF number on that other airline and booked my ticket. NOOOOOO! That is Dougie Parker's airline. I fought the Keep Delta My Delta battle. I can't go over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
