doh... I read that LAX announcement and was chanting the entire time, 'get more gates, get more gates." Only to find we're getting renewed finishes commensurate with the Hollywood/LAX customer base ;) Oh well, it's something and will improve pax out there I hope. But I felt like the farm kid at Christmas opening up his last tall present hoping for a BB gun, and getting a shovel, again.

Don't know how much that category is flying, but the last trip "purchased" from me was for a guy needing consoladation.

Possible in this case?

Is it me, or has there been higher than usual carry-out reshuffling at the end of April?

PD,

I think the only guy pay protected is the one who should have been awarded the trip.

Anyone on this thread have a MacBook Air 11" or 13"?

My Apple-Mac IIe, from 1984, (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIe) finally died & am looking to get it replaced. (Computer store said they can no longer fix it!) :)

Anyway, looking for recommendations/suggestions/opinions on whether you'd go with the same screen size again, or would go smaller/larger based on when/where you use it on the road.

Basically, I'm looking for something that offers the "ease of commute-ability" factor, but also isn't a too small to have decent functionality for what you use it for? (e.g. 11" screen size owners wishing they'd purchased the 13" instead?)

Thanks for the replies.

True that. My bad!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Air 13" 128gb. I was looking at the 11in but Best Buy had this on sale for 999 on 3/23.

I had a 13 in MacBook from '08 that had a couple lines of pixels go bad. I actually looked at the 11in air, but only the 13in was on sale. So far I'm very happy. It fits nicely in my flight kit and feels durable and the performance and screen are outstanding

My last MacBook last twice as long as any wnidows computer I have owned and is still usable.

Also check out the refurbished macs from apple. They get new batteries and chassis and get great reviews usually 7-10% cheaper.

Blue moon,

Thanks for the reply. My previous laptop too was a 13" (black, 08') MacBook. (Prior model to Apple coming out with their aluminum cases.) As you stated, it lasted twice as long as any PC I've ever owned, & finally had the screen go out on it.

Did you know too that Apple offers a Delta discount on new Apple products? Think it's only around 5%, but every little bit helps when you're a "frugal" pilot. :)

Buy it on a pdx layover. Buddy of mine (dal73) got his there. Said he got the discount and no sales tax

And here I thought u were a tough Lizard driver. You're sounding like a Gucci Boy. What gives?
Time to get my manicure...see ya!
