Anyone hear the same?

I haven't heard the mods were on hold, but I have heard the HVC's are NOT happy about all the back & forth necessary due to 1 galley. I personally think the mod is a stupid idea. Who has 1 galley for 160 people, & all the way in the front? Not well thought out. A pure bean counter idea who doesn't fly on MD88/90 products IMO.

I agree with you johnso29. It seems too many ideas are being made by the bean counters and not by people who would know what is best.

That's been going on for years. It is one of Delta's biggest weaknesses.

Heyas Scoop,

Actually, there is, and its probably a 10 minute walk through the Skyway (you don't need to go outside) to find it. I'm trying to remeber the name of the building, but it's the one with Cray Computers located in it. From the hotel, sort of walk around the Skyway counter clockwise, and that's how I bumped into it.

Just follow the Skyway from the hotel until you come to that building. The Y is located on the Skyway level, behind the Cray offices.

Downtown Minne is probably another 15-20 minutes from the airport, at least, more in traffic. There's not much there that you can't find in STP.

It's night/day when comparing what Mpls has to offer as opposed to St Paul. I'll take the downtown Mpls layover in a heartbeat as opposed to staying in St Paul.

Yeah, I prefer downtown Minnie as well. But having stayed in St. Paul for a month during training, I did find one thing I really liked. Cossetta's Italian Market. This place has some of the best lasagna I've ever eaten and also some really good NY style pizza. Highly recommend!

BTW, I just did a Google search to find the name of the health club in downtown St. Paul. Looks like it has closed. Here's what I found: Life Time Fitness

They will give you a free pass to lifetime fitness if you are there for training, but not for layovers. Kind of a silly rule if you ask me.

Newk vs Buzz for trip to Super Bowl!

New ownership was supposed to take over. Don't know if they ever did.

BTW, I think the Seahawks are done. Bears have dominated.
