After one of the most exhausting mileage runs I’ve taken to date, I’m back home and ready to hibernate. I’ve gotten a grand total of six hours of sleep in the past 60 hours. Best of all, I get to do it all again on Saturday.
Remind me again, why do I do this?

ENjoy yourself today slacker. I have my first true MR today. Had to get into work at 245 am this morning as well. Ah, who needs sleep anyway?

He says/thinks he was on a mileage run but perhaps, just perhaps, the powers at United intercepted him en route and brain-washed him into believing StarNet blocking is good for us. Repeat after me StarNet Blocking is GOOD. One World BAD.

I understand StarNet blocking – specifically why United has to implement it – but what I don’t understand is why there isn’t a break for top-tier flyers.

bmvaughn, My feeling is that it’s the top-tier flyers who are the people who would cost US the most with *A flights. GM’s probably just fly UA

You know guys, as I think more and more about it, it wasn’t really decent justification. I was just drinking a bit too much of their Kool-Aid. Nonetheless, I’ll put up a post about what they said which had me semi-believing them for about six seconds.
Oh, and another nice thing about being home is being able to drink milk without feeling weird. Although I don’t know, it just doesn’t taste as good on the ground….

Okay, we’ll look for you on Saturday @ Dulles – any chance it’s SNA as the destination?

@ Sharon — What time will you be at IAD? I’ll be there from around 11AM till 12:30PM. Not heading to SNA, unfortunately.
