Thanks so much for marginalizing those of us who live in Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, Tucson, Colorado Springs, Boise ... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/tongue.gif</font>
Hey, those of us in Phoenix and Tucson are on "Arizona time." No daylight savings time here.

BTW, since I've been working more and more closely with teams in India over the past couple of years, I've taken to always writing my dates as DD-MMM-YY, as it is clear to either country and eliminates ambiguity or mistakes.

I wasn't saying that those in Phoenix and Tucson observed Daylight Savings Time; I know that you don't. I graduated from a high school in Tempe, Arizona, so I do know that much. However, there is no special Arizona time zone -- Arizona merely observes Mountain Standard Time (aka Sun Time) year round.

FWIW, I use the DD MMM YYYY format on everything I create, unless I am told to use a different format. As a professional genealogist that specializes in British and Australian research, it just makes everything simpler, especially since I frequently refer to dates that were not in the twentieth or twenty-first centuries, e.g., 13 Sep 1895.

Change the dates back. FlyerTalk is based in Colorado, which is in the United States. Tough luck for you foreigners. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
