Jump to postAs far as something amiss - I caught on to something when Cain was telling her story of their "escape" at Scorpion when the Cylons attacked. A "blind jump?" Someone as rigid as she is about military might consider it "chickening out" and might be embarassed to tell Adama. I would think that the guil...
Jump to postAvoid the 1st row if you can. There are no cutouts in the bulkhead so leg room can get cramped even in First. There is usually time enough to get 2 movies in if they have them. Channel 9 helps, but without ATV there is no airshow. Attentiveness depends on crews, it has been hit and miss for me on th...
Jump to postChris: Was pleased to find this report. I just booked by first trip on the <acronym title="Los Angeles - International (LAX / KLAX), USA - California">LAX</acronym>-<acronym title="New York - John F.

Jump to postI know that "P" and "Z" codes seem tied to their Premium Service flights. I've booked the "Z" code as the advance purchase non-refundable fare in Business Class on the <acronym title="Los Angeles - International (LAX / KLAX), USA - California">LAX</acronym>-<acronym title="New York - John F.

Jump to postStryker: "Its a totally different kind of flying...altogether."
Doctor and Stewardess: "Its a totally different kind of flying."
Having an Armenian boyfriend, I find that language difficult to listen to.

Jump to postChurch Lady with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker (Phil Hartman and Jan Hooks, complete with the fake running mascara). "I rebuke you demonic raisins!" Pete Schweddy (Alec Baldwin) with his Schweddy Balls and Schweddy Weiners on the "Delicious Dish on NPR". In fact, Alec Baldwin has a few good ones includi...
Jump to postWhen new shows do come out, I am amazed at how quickly or should I say timely they are able to parody current pop culture items. The best examples I can think are "The Passion of the Jew" (Stan to Kenny "Dude, this is a snuff film") and how they got it out right in the middle of the "Passion of the ...
Jump to postThis happened back in 2000, I was working at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I had gone outside to one of the upper decks to get some air. The ship is docked in Long Beach harbor and there is what was called the "moat" around it. I was standing against the railing looking east towards downtown Long Be...
Jump to postThere was noise last May just before the holiday weekend. Nothing happened, but somehow this little piece just seems different. Maybe it has something to do with the turnover to the PBGC - this is today, right? What a mess - why do the United F/A's put up with their union? This kind of publicity onl...
Jump to postThis early it should be fairly easy to confirm an upgrade using mileage. If this is the only segment of your trip on <acronym title="United Airlines (USA)">UA</acronym>, try calling Mileage Plus directly to ask them to upgrade this portion. Do not wait until check-in to try and upgrade. If you have ...
Jump to postAs someone who has been in and consults for the hospitality industry, I am most impressed by the "Little America" group based in Salt Lake City. The original "Little America" started as a road stop oasis off of I-80 in Southwest Wyoming, about 40 miles west of my home town. While in college, twenty ...
Jump to postIf the PBGC defaults why is that United's responsibility? They sold the premiums to United to guarantee their pensions - the PBGC (and if you will the government, thus the taxpayers) took the risk. The PBGC is the watchdog for employer sponsored pension plans - and if there were conditions at United...
Jump to postI read somewhere that polling showed "Went with the Wind" is the most popular and memorable of the sketches they did to spoof classic movies. I loved all of the movie spoofs - she even did a spoof of "Airport 75" wherein Carol played the Karen Black stewardess role. However, I think "Mildred Fierce"...
Jump to postTruly embarassing - 1971 Bobby Sherman at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. I was in 4th grade. (covering my head in shame)
Jump to postAdding to the other warnings - cabin height, and no restrooms, do not try to take on large carry-ons. They will ask you to leave it on the tarmac and they'll stow it in back. It will be there for you when you get off the plane. There is no room under the seat in front of you, and it goes without say...
Jump to postAs a kid it was always "Bewitched." There wasn't anything to stop me from being in front of that <acronym title="Virgin Express (Belgium)">TV</acronym> at 7:30 on Thursday nights. I was too young to appreciate some of the humor, especially the last season (which was the worst rated, but as an adult ...
Jump to postIs there enough discontent among United <acronym title="Safair (South Africa)">FA</acronym>'s to not have union affiliation? I know this is a radical thought. What if enough of you sent your own individual letters to the bankruptcy court that would tell them that you want the AFA out of this process...
Jump to postLooks - thats what first attracts us to someone (we don't see their brain capacity)
In love or not?
For Cylons, shooting accuracy not important, remember they can always build more. Unlike the old series, the raiders in this series are Cylons themselves (no pilots). You give the raider model the programming to backtrack and re-group, then you introduce more complicated coding that can have a bug i...
Jump to postThanks for the correction - anyway if I were to switch, I think Grace Park might get me to. <img src="/discussions/graphics/smilies/biggrin.gif" alt="Big grin"> Again - my apologies to those who haven't seen it - So we find out that Ellen Tigh has a reputation for sleeping with half the fleet, ...
Jump to postSorry ANCFlyer, yes, Boomer (Sharon Park) is quite beautiful, but my babe remark was meant for Helo (I hope I don't offend).
Jump to postSex with a dish of Dreyer's Dreamer ice cream afterward (I don't smoke)
Happy or not?
First my apologies to those down under who have just started watching the series if I give too much away, but I like the chance to discuss this stuff that is brought up. I can't decide if I'm bored with the "are they a cylon or not?" question, but when I watched last night's show and the anguish Pre...
Jump to postWhen I finally get the guts to serve my partner with the "divorce" then I'm thinking of wild and decadent on a beach in Florida, Mexico or Hawaii.
Jump to postPhil Hendrie over Tom Leykis (Comb Over Boy) any day. C'mon Los Angeles get him back on KFI, stop interrupting him for the Laker games on KLAC.
Jump to postWorked as F/A for the original Frontier 1981-1986. Decided to use the business degree I had and went into finance outside of the airline industry and haven't been back (except as a passenger) since. Considering all the changes now, I guess I'm kind of glad I'm out of it.
Jump to postMy 2003 E-320 (my 3rd Mercedes) has been nothing short of an electrical nightmare. In my two years of ownership, I have had to take it in 12 times for one problem after another. What is worse is the lack of wanting to follow-up on the Mercedes Benz. If I complain to them about service I receive at t...
Jump to postF class in 2-cabin 777's is a big disappointment over 3-cabin. In my experience, they have used on 2 FA's for 36 seats. Don't sit in row 1, the screen will be right in your face.
Jump to postSoaringadi: You may be able to spread the initial cost among many members, but I'm not too sure how many members can pay the added costs of the individual trips. For example, we took my boss' Flexjet on a short day-trip to Reno. The bill my boss paid for that trip for just the 2 of us was over $6,00...
Jump to postI read the press release posted on the United AFA web site, and there is still a chance for United management to avoid CHAOS. Let's just hope they take this warning seriously. Union leaders - please, please, please make sure you're getting all information to your members. As desperate as the situati...
Jump to postYes, clap, clap, great job for the union leaders and United management, letting news like this get out now. Don't get me wrong, flight attendants are already underpaid (LCC and Legacy), but this kind of acrimony getting out to the public just makes it worse for <acronym title="Albenga (Villanova d'A...

Jump to postGive yourself 2 hours. Terminal 1, the Southwest terminal is the worst at <acronym title="Los Angeles - International (LAX / KLAX), USA - California">LAX</acronym>, and this Friday should be no exception. Notably, a lot of people are off next week for the holidays and could be heading out this weeke...
Jump to postWe're the same age and I know exactly what you mean. First, see your physician. I was put on a testosterone replacement regimen which helped a lot with the depression and not being able to focus. Don't get talked into taking an anti-depressant.

Jump to postA good friend of mine has a non-partisan bumper sticker that says it all for me:
"If you aren't completely appalled by now, then you haven't been paying attention!"
Susan Lucci gets a lot of press for her tenure and lack of emmy wins for "All my Children," but, if I were to pick my absolute, long-time, day-time drama goddess diva it has to be Deirdre Hall as Dr. Marlena Evans Brady Black on "Days of our Lives." She is gorgeous!
Jump to postIn the town I grew up in, there were only 2 exchanges, EMpire 2-XXXX, and EVerest 2-XXXX. The 382 (EVerest-2) exchange was the newer one, and if you were calling a number in that exchange, you had to dial all 7 digits; however, as the 362 (EMpire-2) exchange was the original, and until I was in high...

Jump to postIf you're going to go as a woman, get a Nolan Miller gown and go as either Crystal (Linda Evans) or Alexis (Joan Collins) from Dynasty.
Again thanks to all for the compliments!
For those of you making note of my gayliners.net comment - a follow-up. Twice now, since this trip, I have spotted the blond hotty from Seat 1E, Flight 947, at my gym! Oh the torture.
If you're sure this is not going to work out, once you do tell him, stick to your position. Don't get caught in the trap of promises that he will change to please you, it will only make things harder when you have to try and end it again. I'm facing ending a 15-year relationship right now. Its obvio...
Jump to postThat the always working Heather Locklear, is laughing (at herself, the show, and the producers), all the way to the bank. Good for her, no pretense for her, she's in it for the money.
