5.5 hour flight with nothing but peanuts and sodas and no biz class.

On another note heard on CNBC that UniCal will stop honoring Amex Membership Miles after 30 Sept 11. That will leave Delta as the only US airline that will redeem Membership Miles.

What's the best mobile phone app for checking airline flights? I'm looking for something that lists ALL flights (SWA, Delta, USAir etc.) between city pairs, ordered by time, so I can land and figure out what I've got for commute flights.

In the past I used the OAG version (10 years ago), but now it's only "online"--I really want one that is periodically updated and the data lives on my phone, so I can look at it without web access when needed.

Anyone have experience with the current OAG mobile app, or other good suggestions? Don't want to browse to all the airline's pages....
Thanks!

I think with regard to trip parking, the way to look at it is: Is trip parking illegal concerted activity?

The company looks the other way because it is not expensive and may save manpower. DALPA, initially vocal about it, seems silent. Is it because it has not affected jobs? Yet?

Turn the tables. If a whole small category got together (but only acted as onesy and twosy) and had a sickout/ greenslip campaign in which one person said to another "If you sick out, I will greenslip your trip." Then multiply this across the entire small category where this happened with everyone.

Would the company be up in arms? Would DALPA have to take action? Is there REALLY a difference between trip parking and sickout/greenslip? (beside the pay for trip.)

Just asking, not advocating.

I'm pretty sure AA honors those miles too.
