Can I get a confirmation on something I'm almost certain of--if you deviate from DH on day 2 of a 2-day of a trip that is just scheduled for a 1 leg DH back into base, do you still get the full credit for the trip if it's a GS? Are you just giving up a little of the per diem? Thanks in advance!

The other douchebag finally wrote me back.... just so you know where he stands:
Thank you for contacting me in regard to the proposed Customs and Border Protection (CBP) preclearance facility at AbuDhabi International Airport (AUH). I appreciate hearing from you and would like to take this opportunity to address your concerns. As you may know, in 2013 the Department of Homeland Security proposed a CBP preclearance facility at AUH in order to mitigate security threats by extending our zone of security and in collaboration with international partners, prohibit potential threats before they reach the United States. The U.S. has operated preclearance offices beyond our borders since 1952; today our government operates a total of 15 international facilities. Screening passengers abroad, rather than upon entry into the U.S. reduces the risk of attack by helping to keep dangerous people and goods off aircraft bound for our country.
In addition to keeping our country safe, any preclearance facility should also seek to reduce congestion at major airports in the U.S. and enhance our domestic aviation interests. I strongly support preclearance operations and the benefits they provide to facilitating travel into the U.S. However, the establishment of preclearance operations should not jeopardize jobs in the U.S. or provide a competitive advantage to foreign interests.
Although I am not a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee which allocates funding for CBP preclearance facilities, please know I will keep your concerns in mind should relevant legislation come before the full Senate. Thank you again for contacting me. It is an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Florida in the United States Senate.
Sincerely,
Marco Rubio
United States Senator

He's my Senator, too. I used to be a Rubio fan. I guess that's because I didn't know anything about him. Between this and his immigration buffoonery, he can SMD. For that matter, every politician can SMD.

FTB, how ya been?!
I was probably being a little grumpy. But when I take a look around, I see that compared to whats happening at just about every other airline, we are pretty lucky.
I just didn't see the need to question what seems to be a very successful merger.
I'm going to go get a cup of coffee to remove the grumpiness.

But it's 80. He's my friend. If he was in the hospital I'd be there for him.
So I'm back.
