I went away hungry. I went one more time and got the pulled pork sandwich that time. It was okay but nothing to write home about. The next layover, I was relaying my experience with Rendezvous to the van driver and he suggested Neely's BBQ as being way better. It's about a 15 minute walk from the hotel (wouldn't do it at night). I think the BBQ is much better there. Still not up there with the best Memphis BBQ places though (none of which are downtown). But if you go to Neely's, you gotta try the "Sock-it-to-me" cake for dessert! Yummy!!!

Now if you 73 guys want to give up CHS we'll gladly take that off your hands. it's a cross we will bear for everyone.
BDL did suck. PVD is one of the nicest, so is PWM. WTH happened with BUF?
Now if we have to stay downtown why are we where we're at in DFW? IAH has a great workout room but that is way too far, pick a better downtown in Houston, they've got like 7 to pick from.

Bill Swellbar is at it again:
He opines:...How dumb American pilots are, for not settling with the company and offering up concessions, blah, blah, blah, and then this:
American Airlines, Labor Leverage, US Airways and ChickenLittle - Aviation Articles and Commentary - Swelblog / Swelbar on Airlines
gotta love it, I bet he'll be on retainer...
Cheers
George

Delta’s pilots will have the richest compensation package in the industry after American completes its bankruptcy negotiations. That means they won’t have any leverage over the company even as pilots squawk about the liberal scope clause in the current agreement.
gotta love it, I bet he'll be on retainer...

Our best domestic downtown is BOS.

Blue's City is def my favorite with Corky's coming in second- that and the yummy red potatoes. Not a fan of rendevous.
And by the way, your new Avatar is perfect.
