Every united flight is sort of same-day standby, in that maybe the flight will happen and maybe it won't.

United was perfectly acceptable back in the day.

people said the same thing about not allowing women to vote, perfectly acceptable! 

good grief can we take a moment to honor the women's suffrage movement (and also condemn rusty's misogyny)?

Shocking take from a person that I think has daughters and presumably a wife and mother.

I just want to give it up for Susan B. Anthony and also say that Rusty is a chauvinistic piece of crap.

Domestic business will also be smaller for some time. And that time for both is forever.

Gonna work remote in Breckinridge for a week starting the beginning of September. Haven’t been back there since our wedding 4 years ago. Trying to make a list of things to do there: 1. Trout fishing 2. Golf 3. Hiking 4. PAK’ing (bringing the grandparents to watch lil wacky) 5. Foodie crap


What else am I missing? Any Colorado elitist out there?

Nice! Our friend just sold his condo there. That’s where we use to stay. Love that town and lake next to it. Enjoy!

Haven’t flown since March.  Used to fly at least monthly.  Had an awesome trip to Omaha planned but you guys talked me out of it.

dang. Looks like if I took two more expensive trips with connections I would get Premier Platinum on United for 2021. I don't think it'll happen though.

I've heard Delta is doing better at not completely filling planes compared to United and American

pretty much every flight is full. I will say passengers' behavior in airports has improved dramatically since june. mask usage is pretty much 100% now, and i just avoid the food court areas or whatever. there seem to be fewer flights so it's not hard to find a gate with nobody in it to eat.

Same and only 10 segments this year.  They should extend you like 5 years for knocking it out for the year though.

i get it. work travel will probably never be the same for me (2020 was supposed to be a big year) but i'm going to try to squeeze as much as i can out of my extended diamond status until January 2022.
