I'll be posting more soon, hopefully. I've been really busy with an increase in responsibilities in the store, so I don't have time. And thank you. I’ll be posting more soon, hopefully.

This is what happens when I work way too much. My brain short circuits on the weirdest things. I swear I meant Skybus.

I'm not drinking wine outside my budget but it does get a little frustrating pouring 1/3 of a bottle of what was perfectly good cabernet the night before down the sink ... commenting here instead of there because 1) it's an older post and wasn't sure you'd see it and 2) I have a Google account for blog commenting but because I was an idiot when I set it up it leaves my name as "Anwyn's" and I just can't go all over the web littering apostrophes like that. I need to get a new gmail account, I guess. Oh, and Kat, I just looked at your blog–thanks for the tip about the gadget that preserves wine’s freshness.

I had no idea they were struggling, seeing that I only first heard of them about a week ago. Skybus did, apparently, today.

I thought you meant $10 for both of the first two bags, and I didn't bother to go to Skybus to check it out. And yeah, of course that is the way it will adjust, checking the flights for price differences within the baggage fee. Fortunately I'm not often faced with a situation where United is the best or cheapest choice. I misunderstood you.

Wouldn't the rational choice be to purchase the cheapest ticket you can get, from whoever issues it, unless the cheapest and the next-cheapest are within $25 of each other?

In a little single-engine plane like the kind you learn in, you have to check the pitot tube as part of the preflight, to make sure it doesn't have junk in it (dirt, birds' nests ... feathers ...) that would prevent it from giving an accurate airspeed reading.

That's exactly where they should stuff it. Now just how did you know about the pitot tube? That’s exactly where they should stuff it.

But at United it's $25 for the second bag. I don't plan to do anything rash ... just avoid United and USAir. :) Another good reason not to lump Skybus in with the other two.
