The Mysterious Dark Arts - l'acte 2 (Page 10)

nice try, didn't quite work though... anyways the worst is over.

I'd have to convince a hot guy to travel with me for that one!

I'm thinking no guy would need any convincing.

I need to vent. About 2 weeks ago, my work schedule changed so I decided to stay in Chicago until Tuesday, instead of Monday as originally planned. I called the airline and asked if I could use my ticket to fly standby and they said "sure, no problem, and those flights are pretty empty." Being paranoid as I am, I called again a few days before my trip and got the same response. Then I called last night. Same thing.

Today I called one last time and was told my ticket was invalid. After arguing with American for 20 minutes they wouldn't budge. I had to buy a one way ticket back to NYC for a ridiculous amount of money, and I have to fly tomorrow morning at 6:45am, which means I get to get up at 3:30, fly and go straight to work.

Is it normal that I'm so raging angry right now?

There. I feel better. Thanks for listening.

You can't be that angry since everything was in lowercase.

Fargin' airlines.  I'm glad I don't have to travel.  Sorry to hear they pulled this on you.  You should have taken some names and perhaps their ID number or something for proof, but then it would still go back to "he said, she said".

I held back on the all caps Taking names wouldn't have helped. They apparently keep a log in the system of all calls and every time your itinerary is accessed. So to demonstrate what morons they are, the first woman said "i see you called last night...." and then the supervisor, who was worthless, said, "we have no record you called yesterday." Unbelievable.

I'll be drafting a strongly worded letter to Customer Relations and I'm hoping I'll get something out of this. If not, you can guarantee I'm telling everyone I know about it because you should seriously think twice before flying with American if this is how their customer service is.

Ain't no messin' with the New Yawk Hawtie!

I think there's a little jealousy on one of the teams.  Check it out -

Everyone wishes they were on the Dark Arts. Can you blame them???

I would be fuming too if I was in your place. Flying just sucks, that why I don't like to do it. I cannot count the times, that I was delayed, rerouted and my bags gone. And most of the counter personnel doesn't have a clue what they are talking about or they plain out don't care about their customers. ARRRGGHHH.... That makes me angry all over again.... Also with Sunday and my flight to Germany in mind...

sounds like a plan... especially the run run run portion for Sunday. congrats also on almost being done with the paper.

Congrats... you must be starting to feel good about it!

Wow, you guys sure know how to post... where did the last 50 pages come from?  Are there any summaries?

 I've got a bunch of stuff to get done tonight,  but I'm going to try to get 40 minutes in on the treadmill.  Tomorrow, though, all training is on hold... because IT"S SKI SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, that I am not able to share this excitement with you.... I am so glad to live in SC and there is probably 2 inches of snow for 2 days a year.... that's how I like my snow! ;-)

Ive only been in snow once in my life - skiing was a bit of a disaster!!! guess I might see it again in my lifetime but Im in no rush!

I am all excited about snowboarding.  You can see the snow on the mountains in the distance from Denver/Aurora CO.  It's awesome.

BOTTOMPAGE!!!
