"United Airlines will not buy a piece of equipment without running it
for a winter in Chicago. They consider a winter in Chicago to be the
definitive bad ground support experience."

the seed of an idea

i'm thinking about taking a cruise back through the panama canal at the
end of my AYCJ pass ... 14 days, double occupancy, US$1200 ... makes it
about $85/day, roughly the same as the motel 6 down the street, but with
better food and considerably more sea worthy.

missed a beat

yesterday JB had 1 of their "cheep" flights ... $9 for SFO -> LGB this
coming sunday ... i could have slummed down there (with at least one
stop at "roscoe's house of chicken 'n' waffles") and started the JB pass
on tuesday with a schedule tweak ...

i've never advanced in my life by being dull.

quote of the moment

You know flying IS a lot more dangerous than it used to be. Everyone I
know that flies a lot has had the Goddamn TSA steal stuff out of their
luggage.
