We are, mostly, and the airlines are going to give us as little
as they can get away with. That's just the way things are.

Speaking of traffic, I dined with the FAA guy in charge of
flow control between San Fran and LA; he said with some
relief that no US government no matter how irrational would
dare to eliminate his position.

He's the one who said he'd try to get my flight 1101 to land
on 11/11/11 at 11:11:11, but he only managed to get it to
land at 11:00.

 NB> Some perks remain, for some...  What was in San Jose...?

mine.

Spam is loved by many, lutefisk few, and those all without
taste buds.
