    Congrats man! SFO really does have a ton of destinations, just watch your loads!

    Not sure if I mentioned this or not, but our flights tend to be more full than US, but at least we have a very good selection of destinations. Ultimately, if you're flexible you can go places. Plus, there are always ZEDs if you really want to get somewhere.

    Haha, middle row is middle row no matter. I haven't been able to get first on a domestic flight in so long I've stopped trying.

    Word on the block has it that FRISCO be very very expensive place to dwell. However, on a more positive note, its a great city and the weather is great at least during summer months when we bake here. So far, the merger is to my liking. Been posting profits since the merger galore. Flights are loaded. Just kind of waiting for some issues such as seniority, hire date, kind of stuff. How the two will merge in. Will still be a while when all that gets ironed out. Our contract is up in December. Will be interesting how soon and how we merge into one final contract. Lots of things riding in the hinges there. I say ROLL THE DAMNED DICE and lets get it on. Do you feel lucky?

    I actually do, Palms! It IS gonna be quite a jump in rent for sure. But I've lived all over the place, being with the airlines. Some of it by choice, some not. It's gonna be a new experience for me! the closest to the West Coast I've ever lived was Las Vegas.

    Congratulations Tony, I;m sure SFO is much more exciting than CLT (is that were you were based)? As soon as you get there you must do a TPAC flight in first on UAL.
