Outta here for now. At $.55 a minute to post from the ship, I'd need Dovster's $$$'s to write a whole lot more.
Back home tomorrow. Adios for now.....

And, the $64k question, if/when NWA goes under, will you switch back to DL and CTS?

There are plenty where I work in the Midwest and next week I will have a pecan waffle for you when I'm in Kentucky.

Is this something other brands should look into adding?

NWA cancelled 2 flights last night SEA-MSP, MSP-HNL
FA's voted down a strike and WILL cross the picket line
Pilot's are shaking there head at the Mechanics lack of........
Replacement workers are on the job
Flights are flying as scheduled
NWA is NOT allowing reroutes as they are continuing to fly their schedule
Personally I don't agree with you on who's to blame....The pilots gave back years ago already and strongly encouraged other unions to also do so...NWA has been asking the other unions to step up for 3 years now, first they refused to open talk then when they were required to do so they refused to what was needed.....so they are locked out now and a new contract is imposed.....btw: they did strike early yesterday (not sure but I believe this would be considered an illegal move)

I want to know when we will be having a meet/do/gathering at one of the races where CTS is present and sponsorning.

So weather here has been mixed. Yesterday was GORGEOUS and I ended up renting a wave runner for an hour. WHAT A BLAST. Had never been on one before.
So far today is grey and cloudy but it looks like the sun is considering poking through so hopefully this afternoon will be nicer.

To answer your 64K question...see my post here:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...eferrerid=3941
BTW, I do not think NW, or DL for that matter, will fold. They will go into Chapter 11 like many airlines before them that are still flying today. I do believe that the entire industry is in deep DOO DOO, so it is going to get interesting.
Take Greyhound, you meet so many new friends that way
