I used to think this was a pain in the butt since all four or five FA's would individually call up on their own and ask the same question - from now on I don't think I will mind. :)

Did learn this during my current unemployment:

1. Purchase a Starbucks card, load $5, and register it online.
2. Save your last "paid for" cup, or pick one out of the trash. Your discretion.
3. Refills are forever free after that. $0.52 cent charge becomes $0.00 when you present your registered Starbucks card to the cashier.
4. Lifespan of reused cup is 4-5 refills. When cup deteriorates and develops heavy leak, request new cup, pour contents of leaking cup into new cup, and begin cycle at step #2.

Discuss pros and cons to stay awake during long flights.

But hey, I'm living in a van and have time to kill on APC attempting to encourage total strangers to crack a smile....

Here's an interview with a passenger. He reports the pilots had been making announcements. Also says the "dark suits" removed a "case" from the cockpit on landing.What might that have been?

Not an Airbus driver so I'm just asking out of curiosity, Boeings have the "Pilot Response" caution that turns into a warning with an aural if left unattended and it comes on after a while of no inputs from the pilots, do Airbus have something similar?
