Forget Hertz and call National's Emerald Club.. they'll waive the $50 fee. At the Emerald Sisle you get to PICK your own car, not beg for a cool one.
When times are busy, selection will be slim but at most times you get a cool car, SUV, or minivan of your choice.

I'm sure my client will be thrilled to be headed to lunch and meetings with 2 of his employees in a ford contour. Anybody with any suggestions on rental folks besides Hertz, please let me know.

I agree with your sentiments about the F-100...
I've been on three flights with the F-100, all with American, and was not pleased. My first two were last year OMA-DFW-OMA... unfortunately American has seen fit to use the F-100 for their added OMA frequency. Even the ERJ is better than the Fokker. Overheads are small, back is incredibly noisy... and these AA aircraft didn't have the more room throughout coach. My other F-100 leg was PHL-ORD this year.. I was a bit more pleased, as I was in the second row of coach and slept most of the flight. However, AA only put two F/A's on the aircraft and one had to do coach by herself. Why does AA do this?
