Oh, this whole "two brands" exercise is also a terrible idea. It won't end well.

This is a terrible idea. As has been everything Southwest has done recently.

Mom, mother in law, father in law, and brother all went to BG. Didn’t realize they had a flying program.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but they are in middle school no more. Find myself is this same boat. 😭

When I was in college, I used to shop at the Target in Northgate. It blew my mind because it was the 2-story store with a cart escalator. Granted, this was a quarter century ago.

Not including screens in Y is such a huge mistake. Gotta assume there are plenty of transcon business travelers that have to book in Y - so they'll book UA, AA, DL, or B6 instead.

It's way better now, but when the kids were little, it was rough. I mean, all you want on your birthday as a parent is somebody else to put the damn kids to bed, right?

My wife (also Sarah) and I both have the same birthday - even the same year. We've been together 24 years now. Sharing a birthday in the first few years was a novelty. It got old fast!

Proud dad moment… my teen son just offered to pick up pads for his sister at the store without blinking an eye. I know a lot of grown ass husbands that wouldn’t do the same. Wife and I high-five’d after he left the room.

My freshman daughter headed to the homecoming dance tonight with friends. Thought I was being a good dad because I got her a corsage. She flatly rejected it - "only people with dates wear those, dad." 🙁 I'll be over here looking at baby pictures if you need me.

My same-age kiddo should be descending the stairs soon in her getup. I went thrifting with her, and oaf dad brought her about 10 dresses that *might* work. We took a few home. We'll see what she's wearing in a few moments!

That looks like a curb check or pothole; I'd be hesitant to drive very fast/far with a chunk like that. For tires, my next set will be the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Nice blend between winter and all-season tires that you can use year round.

This is cool. I’m at DRO waiting for my flight and the FAA is doing low passes both directions over the airfield at like a few hundred feet. #avgeek

FWIW, it doesn't really exist. I haven't been on a flight for - I dunno, almost a decade - where it was turned on?

Another United flight with Channel 9. And, as always, it’s turned off. Why even bother with the feature?

This season isn’t officially over, and yet, over the last 5 seasons we’ve lost over 500 games. Think about that… Pre-pandemic we used to be mini-plan season ticket holders. No way I’m paying good money for this never ending train wreck.

Been quite a while since United flew the Dash 8. I got to fly one (in first class!) back in 2014. www.airlinereporter.com/2014/06/flyi...

Hey @crankyflier.com your boys have the opportunity to put the nail in our coffin today. We're one loss away from our fourth consecutive 100-loss season; we'd join four other clubs with that distinction, the most recent having been the '62-'65 Mets.

It's like Die Hard. Thoroughly entertaining, but also implausible. Great supporting characters. Not my persuasion, but I gotta think Alan Ritchson (Reacher) is eye candy for some folks.
