we need to consider playing for some silver.....or at least a penny a point...It might make us more attentive and more cut throat and less likely to 'be kind to our neighbors'.....Currently we are pondering a trip West for some family fellowship and good food. But, because of the frugal way of travel that we have become accustomed to, we are trying to utilize the parent passes on Continental. We initially didn't think it possible to do this on a holiday and maybe we should have gone with our first instincts But because one of us is the eternal optimist (and guess who is not?) ,we decided to go for it. Numbers looked great until this morning........
If you look at the above very poor picture of a web page for employees, it shows a 6:25 am flt to Houston and a connecting flight to Sacramento. The MCO flt originally had some 30 seats and few pass riders....it now has 23 seats and 20 pass riders and the Miller family is near the bottom of that 20 (its based on seniority and pass classification.... even though one of us endured hours of excruciating labor, we raised him to adulthood through illness and orthodontia and college),... we are just parents and of a lower status that the employee himself.!! During the day and evening , the commuters who travel between bases will start listing and the Millers will then be relegated to the wing. It's always an adventure and has paid off nicely as long as we can accept that there is no seat for us (we are even happy with a MIDDLE seat).
