Last week there was a sign in MLB to the right of the Delta check in counters for JET AMERICA, this week the sign is gone. They haven't even started flying to MLB yet, what happened?

They have suspended service that hadn't started yet, ostensibly because they couldn't get slots at EWR ...

I don't know, but they better hurry. The season ends in two months. After that, they will have to fly to NFL or NBA.

I think they heard that you might consider flying them and ran for the hills ;-) ;-)

Stop by Oshkosh next weekend & we'll take a ride on the TriMotor. It's a modern three-holer.

Just some ramblings as I clean the homestead or Life thoughts by LOUIE . . .

Marriage changes passion.
Suddenly you're in bed with a relative.

I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with 'Guess' on it.
So I said 'Implants?' She hit me.

I signed up for an exercise class and Was told to wear loose fitting clothing.
If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!

When I was young we used to go 'skinny dipping,' now I just 'chunky dunk.'

Wouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over? AMEN, AMEN !!

Wouldn't you know it.....
Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live forever.

Bumper sticker of the year:
'If you can read this, thank a teacher - and, since it's in English, thank a soldier'

And remember: life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

And, our industry-leading frequent flyer program complements our vast flight network. Medallion members like you are rewarded with premium perks, including complimentary domestic upgrades, frequent traveler security line access, special check-in privileges, waived baggage fees, preferred seating, priority boarding and discounted Delta Sky Club~ membership.

Looks like your emails queue a bit late since most of us got this what a week and a half ago? Still very strange.

Mrs. Italy and mine came via snail mail We do receive emails from DL so not sure why we were selected for the slow route of notification. At least the MQMs were posted quickly
