At Seatac waiting on a flight and an AS 737 is stopped on the west runway with service vehicles and airstairs around it. Landings are now on the center runway. Any idea what happened?
Jump to postI work for a Seattle based Fortune 500 retailer (not the one you're thinking of) and our downtown headquarters are pretty much emptied out.

Jump to postHSV has been replacing their old jetbridges with glass ones. They should be finished by now. I was last in HSV back in late September and it looks like about half of their jetbridges (6) are glass. It was nice walking off of the MD80 from ATL right into the sunlight. I definitely would love to see ...
Jump to postPlease tell us that we'll still get our snowfall option during the holidays. Quirky things like that are what always made this site special for me. At least I did download some of my threads (Flairport...) and when I open them, I can still see the old layout.

Jump to postI did the same last year and it was depressing. Why are they lumping me, a young guy in his mid 30s with a bunch of old middle aged people?

Jump to postThank you so much for using the term "town center" rather than lifestyle center. The latter term makes me want to vomit.

Jump to postI'm 5'9" and weight 155 lbs (70 kg). I gained a bit of weight after major surgery on both of my knees last year, but have since lost it and more.
