...which means you are not quite familiar with the “jughandle” concept, of which there are few in Massachusetts.

Look — the Dovster is not as spry as he used to be...
...so be patient. He will meet your mother some day...

I think that N639DL would be more comfortable if you did not combine my meeting his mother with jug handling.

Thankfully yes, everyone is now home safe and I didn't have to extend my stay (and honestly there is only so much Alabama I can take in one sitting, with that said ROLL TIDE).
Now I am sitting in ATL on the way back to ROC with a pretty poor track record for the day so far. Delay out of BHM, MX cancel on the first flight, and now sitting in the ATL D27 club which is a freakin dump! Wish I had enough time to either go to E for One Flew South, or to F to sit in the club there.
Edit: Oh yea and due to Obama, the alignment of the stars, FCM, Shena, only being a FO, lack of Woodford, and any other excuse I can come up with today, not a single upgrade has cleared (I usually end up being like 3rd on the list).

Yeah ok...
Anyway, I still can't believed that I applied for a job in the aviation industry. I really hope that I can get it. It would mean one heck of a weird schedule for the spring semester but I would really enjoy it.

Hey guys I need some advice. I have about 80000 sky miles and do not want to be traveling right now. What would be the best most efficient way of converting them to cash?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Or if you're feeling generous, I'd be more than happy to take them off your hands

Delta Air Lines SkyMiles do not expire, so travel later if you do not want to travel now.

I am looking for some AZ-Flights from Europe to China and back in March 2013. Good Price it is indeed - Point is, i would like to collect them on my Delta Account - but I don't see how many Miles that would give me...Is there any Calculator or something?

Welcome to The Lounge™, blueeagle3 and ELGOLFMAN!
Click here and try this option — it may not be exact but it should give you a close idea of how many miles you would earn.
For example, I tried Rome to Beijing and the results were that the distance was 6,363 miles each way on Alitalia.That is especially irritating when you must stop at the same traffic light — twice.
