If you guys want to travel the right way, you really need to discover private planes. Get a couple of clients who maintain their own, treat them well, and it's not tough to get where you want to go when you want to go there. But don't buy your own, even though they're not that expensive. Bitch to maintain.

You won't grow that gut. I thought the same thing. I let myself go for about a month or two one winter a few years back. Then I had to get all my suits let out and buy new pants. That's a fucking massive annoyance, so I crash dieted and got back to my old waistline instead, and I haven't moved since. Atkins works in amazingly short time.

I know this is generally considered an urban legend, but I saw this in the late '80s (at Stapleton, the old Denver airport):

Asshole is holding up the entire line trying to get an upgrade or whatever, and is basically making himself loud and obnoxious. The ticket agent is coping OK but clearly getting to the end of her rope. Finally, the guy pulls out the "Do you know who I am?" line (the only time I've seen that line work was for John Delorean at LAX, incidentally).

Ticket agent finally snaps, picks up the up the microphone and announces to the ticket area in general "Attention, ladies and gentlemen, we have a customer at the ticket counter who does not know who he is. If anyone knows who he is, please come and get him. Thank you." There was a round of applause.

I, too, have found that being nice to the ticket agent, particularly after they've just dealt with a jerk, results in some nice perks. That, in itself, is rather unprofessional (because they're clearly refusing to do their job properly for someone else if I'm getting an upgrade or flight change immediately after they've told someone else they can't have one), but nice if you're one of the nice ones. I have general sympathy for anyone who has to deal with large numbers of the general public for a paycheck - most people are pretty decent, but the number of totally rude assholes is shocking.

BR(incidentally, I understand that, for some in the travel and tourism industries, "New Yorker" is code for a rude customer because of the high correlation)C

(1) I was joking after the first class and clubs exchange above. Dudes, don' t worry, no matter how pretentious you are, there's always someone with a bigger stick up their ass.

(2) There are nice private planes for between $100,000 and $500,000, and plenty of folks own company's outright and don't worry too much about boards.

Most Texans are very nice, friendly people. Obnoxious, but nice.

I can't remember ever being rude, on purpose or otherwise, to any service industry person. I'm probably, if truth be known, overly accommodating.

You have kids, right? Travel with kids w/o club membership you pay $20 for snacks/pop and try and crowd into some space near your gate. In a club you pay 0$ and have an entire area to yourself. Clubs are a minimum if you travel much and certainly if you travel with kids.

I suppose it could depend on what airports you go to frequently, and if they have clubs, and if your home airport is a hub, but geez the clubs aren't that much.

I got the impression that it was a "just in case" thing. Since he and Yoda got lured in by the "come home" signal, I guess he figured that he'd nip that particular trap in the bud. There were a lot of Jedi out of the office at the time, and I guess they were holding out hope that some of them managed to get away when the clones turned on them.

In some areas of the country, "Texan" is code for "loud hick with money and no taste."

However, unlike New Yorkers, the Texans often have the last laugh because everyone underestimates them. So, I guess, yeah, from a strategic point of view, I'd rather be thought a Texan. But it's not likely because I haven't the accent and wear too much black.

Incidentally, my vain little superficial, wanna-be fashionista heart was elated yesterday when, wandering back from a late lunch, I passed Isaac Mizrahi going the other way and he gave me a double-take once-over and a nod of approval. What he was doing in the financial district is beyone me, but nevermind. Best celeb-sighting I've had in a while; I haven't gotten out much of late. He's really cute in person.
