Don't bother. The fine print in all the programs don't allow crew members to receive points on layover stays. I'm gold at a few different chains and it's hard to even get a room upgrade on a layover, yet alone points. You're pretty much wasting your time asking the hotel clerks for points or stay credit if you are on a layover.

A return to service of 757's would be much more welcome news than a order for the Airbus or Boeing narrow body jets.

Marriotts are pretty good about it. Hiltons, not so much. I've found a few. Put a CC down and charge something to it. You'll get credit for the stay and the points for incidentals. I only do it every once in awhile. Our long layover in DTW is really good about taking them.

Don't know if posted yet but anyone know the # of accepted recalls? The window to accept was Saturday right?

The proposed cockpit mod for the 75 looks really good. Anyone know if there's any movement on funding it for the remaining airplanes?

I don't know any details but I'd doubt we'd see a mod like the one American has. We're parking a lot of 757s soon, the ones we have already do RNAV approaches, and the boxes seem to have plenty of waypoint capability (I think the waypoint thing is a M88/90 problem they have to solve).

While it would certainly be nice to keep more 75s, I find it very unlikely 900er economics has anything to do with it. The aircraft had established its performance in operation before the DAL order. More important, RA has a solid reputation for being extremely meticulous and methodical in his research. I doubt he will be surprised by any numbers the 900er puts up.

There has always been a hint of "stealth growth" around the 737-900 "replacement jet" order. The wild card has always been the 757 retirement schedule. Personally, with the numbers we are putting up lately, I'm thinking the stealth may start to go away. Here's hoping...
