Sen. Angus King takes road trip with four strangers
No CR but it would help this country a great deal if our representatives spent more time 'spontaneously' with real people instead of lobbyists and journalists.

Ecuador & the GalapƔgos Islands
In Quito....old town is pretty cool, but that's maybe a half day. The cathedral is pretty cool, maybe 2 hours tops. Take the tram to the top of the mountain and take a gander back at the immensity of Quito....that's half of day 2. Now you're done. Not sure what else to tell you about 3 more days. Quito's airport is a long way from the city. Be sure to factor that in getting to/from airport. Cabs are cheap but I would use an arranged car to/from.

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
All my team members live in hub cities....Dallas, DC, Chicago, NY, Detroit, and Mex City with the exception of one. She lives in Raleigh. Guess which one is late or struggles to get to every team meeting... Non-hub cities are probably best to live in but are a beeotch if you travel for bidness

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
I didn't watch all the way to the end. It looked like a single row aircraft....when camera shifts at the end its obviously a wide body

Prove Me Wrong: American Airlines is the worst domestic airline
It was a domestic flight, you can tell by the seats. Cam was in the back because he was probably flying last minute and BC was sold out or already upgraded. Assuming it wasn't a transcon, take the $$.

Interesting angle: cali to pay college players
The potential for manipulation and outright fraud in this has no upside.

Unaccompanied minors
I would think the airline will ask for some form of verification of age and relationship. Doubt you could get away with misleading them in his age.

United Airlines sucks
The app notifications have been spot on. The gate agent starts the announcement and "bam" here comes the text.

Official "Fuck this stupid ass-commercial" thread
The JG Wentworth commercial w/the slacker sitting in his basement while is supposed "mom" cleans up his empty pizza boxes and trash. The mom must have been 5 when she gave birth to him....seriously, the actress is probably they same age as her "son".

United Airlines sucks
"former" is the operative word. I dread the day I lose that status. I sweatergaurd they have implanted a chip in me. Yesterday's boarding in Munich was developing into a massive cluster because passengers are, for the most part, idiots. The GS rep at the gate somehow ID'd me as GS, walked over and asked me if I would like to board before they started the process. She somehow found 2 other GS's as well. I was relaxing on the plane a good 15 mins chatting up the FAs before anyone else boarded.
