Bill, looks like a typo on the IND-MDW flights. Shouldn't Indianapolis Chicago/Midway 9:30 a.m. 11:45 a.m. Chicago/Midway Indianapolis 9:30 a.m. 11:45 a.m. actually be Indianapolis Chicago/Midway 12:40 p.m. 12:35 p.m. Chicago/Midway Indianapolis 9:35 a.m. 11:35 a.m. Which, of course, gets that MDW crew and plane home. Thanks for sharing the world of scheduling with us! ... View more

Steve, Love RBR. Thanks for sharing it with us "outsiders" that sit in rows 1 to 23. However, whatever happened to: "These first two episodes have everything except a clever tagline. That’s why I am asking for input with a closing line. There is some great Southwest Airlines stuff that will be sent to the winner." Mine, of course was the best. :<) ... View more

Joe (and James), the link has a simple typo. Try "www.spiritmag.com/2007_08". Dan, I like the current version but really miss the old editor's comments. I really needed the puzzles this week (MDW-MCO, MCO-LAS, PHX-STL, STL-MCO, MCO-FLL, FLL-TPA, TPA-FLL and this week, FLL-MCO, MCO-SDF, SDF-MDW). I can't wait for the November issue. : ... View more

Bill, Thanks for all of the info. As you can tell, some of us can never get enough of the "inside" info. I've got one suggestion and one story. My suggestion: Why not publish an anticipated date for each new schedule release? OK, I know that you'd feel very bad if you missed the date. So maybe this experience sets a pattern. Two weeks before the date you raise the "get ready" flag. It would relieve a lot of angst. My story: Several months I ago bought tickets for a July trip on another airline (to a place that you don't fly to...yet). Today I found out that they dropped service to that location and can't (won't) get my family on another carrier. Sure, I'll get my money back but the vacation is now off. All the work setting this up, moving reward points around (for the hotels) and getting time off is now wasted. So what's worse: Waiting for the schedule to open up or cleaning up after massive schedule changes? Right now I wish that those other guys would use your system. (BTW, please expand the code share with ATA!) ... View more

Makers Mark is a great Kentucky Bourbon. However, that means two bourbons (Makers and Wild Turkey). Does Herb know that his beloved "Wild" will have competition? And while I am a Bourbon man, my wife is very dissapointed that the White Zin is gone. ... View more
