BS! Happy for the hotel change, but BS!
Because the vans can depart from the hotel on a schedule. The airport not so much due to traffic and PANY/TSA shuttle parking rules.

I've used the Airtrain/shuttle from Federal Circle to get to the Marriott Courtyard van (just a few blocks away from our old one) when stuck in New York a few times. I'm not sure it's always quicker, but it definitely is more predictable.

The shuttle to the airport from our old hotel was an always late cattle car. I won't miss that hotel or the transportation.

Slow,

Any insight into how the FAR 117 Reserve issue is going to be resolved? Do you see this as the end of short notice inverse assignments?

If I win, I'm going to buy this...



And then I'm going to water bomb the heck out of FSUs practices

What up? Multiple 7ers and occasional whale on it per day. Now gone??
I looked at travelnet and saw next summer a 777 nonstop from DTW and a 7ER nonstop from SEA. Looks like a NRT overfly.

Default RESCIND the Preliminary Awards

I can't believe no one brought this up today. I received a text message at 0842 CST saying the bids have been posted and then 5 hours later I get another text message saying "The preliminary awards for your category have been rescinded as of 1415E."

Was that for everyone or just the ER?

I bet the one with round engines leaves bigger oil stains in your driveway.

Is the kangaroo's nickname "OutBack Door"...?
