Title: Re: Hey Yo FFF
Post by: catzacker on March 23, 2009, 03:36:47 PM: I was hoping for DC. Though having DFW should make our FB recruiting less expensive: instead of having some TX kid fly into KC and then take a shuttle from KC to Manhattan and then not commit, we can just fly'em right into Manhattan and get them right out after they say "hell no OB". I'm assuming there are flights from DC to DFW? Would make 'Te's life a lot easier, which is all I really care about.

that's the beauty of the whole thing. there will be flights from dallas to everywhere on american and it's not like we recruit up north so dallas is already the logical stop for everyone we're recruiting regardless of the sport.

plus i can fly out of manhattan now to the caribbean for only 25,000 aa miles. this is probably a top twenty day for me lifewise. just emailed buddy who works for american asking if he knows any info on pricing, etc. he helps set pricing for their asian flights though so who knows. big emawer though, big.

:curse:

offpeak to the carib goes til mid november. nightly stays in negril practically double in price starting early dec so it actually works out really well regardless. don't really want to go during peak season (higher price hotels, loser touristy types from nebraska getting in the way, etc. ) I guess if i do decide to go in peak... it's only 10,000 more aa miles which is basically chump change to me right now anyway so whatev.

I kinda like being taller than everyone else at my school except the basketball and football team.

But yeah this is good cause if I go to KSU for grad school I won't have to drive all the way over to KCI to catch a flight back to DFW to connect to Austin or San Antonio.

'Te has flown Midwest Airlines direct from KCI to Reagan National in the past. Very comfortable seats on those flights for the top recruiter in the country.

Title: Re: Hey Yo FFF
Post by: willie83 on March 24, 2009, 12:33:08 AM: I fly fairly often on all the major airlines and I find it depends more on the carrier and route than the actual aircraft when it comes to the amount of legroom you have in coach. The tightest fitting seat with the least amount of legroom I have ever experienced was on a Delta 767 from ATL to CDG. My knees rubbed against the seat in front of me for nearly 7 hours and was pure hell. Makes a flight on a ERJ or CRJ seem roomy, and no middle seat is always a plus.

---FAA TO DEBUT NEW EN ROUTE SYSTEM---

The FAA is quietly approaching a notable milestone in its effort to modernize the U.S. air traffic control network. The agency expects within the next month to debut a new system to handle en route traffic, a project that is a crucial precursor for the FAA's long-term Next Gen plan. The en route automation modernization (ERAM) system, developed by Lockheed Martin, is expected to begin controlling live traffic at the FAA's Salt Lake City center by early April, and at its Seattle center a few weeks later. Once the system has been checked at these two sites, it will be rolled out nationwide to the remaining 18 en route centers.

apply for two credit cards to get the necessary mileage needed, book flight from mhk to sju, sleep in a little later than usual on day of flight, have some breakfast, get in car and take five minute drive to airport, board plane, change planes in dallas, watch the kahtzz dominate for a few days and then come home.

disgusting. airplane time is meant to be airplane time.

only two inflight entertainment are acceptable

1)trivia (delta) :love:
2)plane tracker (frontier/delta) :love:

Had direct TV on United the other day. Had about 30 stations iirc. Got it free because our flight was delayed. One of the channels was the flight tracker though.

I have an ex-uncle who was head of aviation maintenance for United at LAX. dood, ended up being a total jerk/douche. I think he still does something in aviation, don't know what though, but United is a much better company without him. dood, had absolutley zero emaw, perhaps even a negative emaw rating.
