I am pretty sure that if you dissected American Airlines income statements from 1982 forward you will find that if you subtract out the fees American received from Citibank
from the AaAdvantage card you strip out all of the profit every year going forward.
The women’s soccer team still shines without any hint of scandal hanging over it. Maybe the men can do better next time?
Those personal liquor cabinets were common sights in NC’s private and civic clubs here in NC, a state where the only way one could have a drink outside one’s house in a social setting was to join a club that had said cabinets and that sold set-ups. The state maintained controlled liquor stores I guess to keep the bootleggers happy, until 1980. That was the year that a few cities ventured out into the Bible Belt- believing citizenry and dared challenge their idea that booze didn’t really exist unless it was kept for medicinal purposes only. They passed “liquor-by-the-drink laws(I know. It sounds insane; and it really was)and that’s where I landed my first “real” job, post separation as a bartender. Fun times.
All that to say all such foolishness evolved from prohibition and the airlines saw a way to cash in.
Reminder yet again, the stock market is not the economy and Trump is not a source but what people are feeling in their day to day lives is what is driving the lack of confidence.
The building conversion is part of a broader effort to repurpose Midtown’s empty office buildings to help fix the city’s housing shortage, and turn the area from a work district to a vibrant neighborhood.
--- The conversion to multi-million-dollar residential living. And in Midtown, my guess is that could be a one bedroom? Not much of a mixed neighborhood feel vibe to me.
for a while a brother-in-law was a United pilot, so would occasionally let us use the 'club'. It was nice - lots of food, lots of liquor, altho when flying I rarely drink 'cause when getting where I'm going I'm usually driving. Other times I also had Priority Pass, but many airports didn't have that lounge. When they did, it was ok at first, but I noticed a decline re: foods offered over the yrs. It was often crowded.
Never understood the draw of the lounge. We have been in them a few times, I would rather arrive at the airport a little later and have less waiting time than get there stupidly early to sit in a lounge. Maybe it’s just the airports we fly through.
Not sure how Vancouver comes in 9th liveable city. It’s expensive, traffic is terrible and the homeless are everywhere. Only good points are the climate and the location by the ocean.
If you travel a lot they are a great place to relax away from the crowds, get work done and chat with similar people away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds and noise.
I was a Delta member for a bit when I flew a lot...I remember the white cheddar crackers being the best part of them... :)
I don't understand the list either - Honolulu is our highest city? Must be most liveable for rich folks since it's as expensive of a place as I've been and they have LOTS of homeless folks on Oahu (though it seems they keep them up on the west shore based on our recent visit).

It looks like something got abbreviated here Paul.
