all commercially. It is going to suck. I still have
some status with UA so hopefully I get bumped up as I don't
have enough candies (upgrades) any more. My only joy flying
commercially is while waiting forever saying to other
pilots "Part 121 sucks" and getting a nod and big grin.

I think the cold turkey sandwich I had last night while enroute
from CIC to SQL with george flying will be more fun. A
friend/co-worker and I flew up to Chico for a Bela Fleck & Edgar
Meyer concert. He was running late dealing with traffic. We
took off and he said, "That was smooth. wow, that traffic below
us REALLY sucks." I replied, "yea, you should see the traffic
going over the Golden Gate Bridge. Fortunately we won't have
to deal with any traffic." A quick 1:15 minute flight up there.
He called on his cell phone and had a taxi waiting for us. The
guy said, "Huh, I didn't know airlines flew in this late. Why
are all the lights off in the terminal." Got to our seats as
the lights were going down. Perfect timing. Got in the plane
going back, had a really smooth flight back. My biggest fear
was having a mouth of turkey while ATC is vectoring me all
over the place with nothing around. Fortunately it didn't happen.
