I love that first night on a thirty hour layover. The excitement of knowing I can sleep in is like Christmas all over again. Then I screw it up, stay up too late, inexplicably wake up on time and am grumpy all day.

If they can do it, why can't we expect the same?

I don't anticipate any Lord of the Flies situations in the U.S.



* Are they even reporting this over there?
No. They're not reporting it. Today's big news is the new "Ebola czar." Sheesh.

Then make it even worse by not being able to hold off on the nap that hits you and then you're left having a hard time falling asleep for uber early wake up.

Stand up comedian referred to the community organizer as "Barack Ebola".

If he doesn't gat a handle on this quick, that's going to be his call sign.

Does anyone know the answer to this? I'm near the white slip maximum pickup, but would like to buy a 4 day with my bank days. Does this make more room for white slipping?

Mike,

Think my friend, think...you are going about it wrong. Never whiteslip above the greenslip trigger (75 hrs), never. Only greenslip above that. Also, use your payback days to drop your highest time trip in November to get paid for it.
