1/2 trip report - DFW-CLT-IAD (US)-LHR (VS)
I took off for the U.S. Memorial Day weekend (and British Bank Holiday) for
London. US 1046, 27 May DFW-CLT - 733 Scheduled 08:00 - 11:26; Actual: 07:53 - 11:20 Boarded at 07:30, full plane, but quickly boarded. After departure, FA's came around with meals for sale - $7 for breakfast - choice of fruit bowl (pineapples, kiwi, cantaloupe with a cup of raspberry yogurt and a croissant roll, or a bacon-roll, The fruit bowl was decent. I didn't see anybody else buy anything. US 2212, 27 May CLT -IAD - CRJ Scheduled: 12:15 - 13:31; Actual: 12:15-13:31 Plane was scheduled as a CR7, but downsized to a CRJ - they didn't tell the agents, so nobody's seat assignments matched, but with only 41 passengers booked, open seating was not a problem For a short leg (46 minutes in the air), it was a decent flight. VS 022, 27 May, IAD - LHR - 343 Scheduled: 19:00 - 07:05+1; Actual 19:00 - 06:55+1 I'm glad I spent a few extra dollars to upgrade to Premium Economy, and would recommend it to anybody if you're flying on VS (or BA, or EVA) for that matter. The additional legroom and seat space was well worth it - This was my first flight with Virgin - I was surprised at the youth of the FA's, and they were genuinely happy about their jobs - it really showed. Food was a choice of barbeque beef (was very nice) or chicken with rice, or vegetarian pasta. It was relatively decent for economy class. Virgin still provides complementary headsets and also free booze, unlike the U.S. carriers. I was pretty impressed, but the regular economy section looked pretty tight. Jeff |

I have no idea what the goal is behind posting personal information other than some right you believe you have to censor people by threatening them into submission. For some reason, you feel that my posts are inappropriate, yet you feel that your posts are a big contibution to Usenet and mankind. If you feel you have a valid complaint, I am sure the appropriate people would address it, if you do so un-anonymously. Additionally, my reason for posting a cell phone number was to give you the opportunity to tell me personally what the problem is so we could work it out. You didn't even try to do that. Now, you continued to post this telephone number as if it still belongs to me. Finally, it looks like you no longer post that number. You also seem to have some strange reason to post a PO Box address I opened years ago when I didn't have a permanent residence. I am quite sure the person that currently rents the box is happy that you are referring to it. You also seem to think it odd that a person with teenage children would have one of them using his news account to address teenage penpal sites. Finally, despite telling you the area code for my city changed years ago, you still can't seem to make the change to you info file. Since spam filters are in place, I am going to resume posting from a valid email address. My "from" address wasn't to hide from people on Usenet, it was to avoid spam. Or.... do you actually think I don't know my posting address appears in the headers, and was doing it to hide from people like you. You don't frighten me Max/Nomen/Whatever, I have seen many bullies in my lifetime. I understand the most common trait among them is lack of self esteem. |
