The entitlement crowd isn't over 70 and they're not younger than 30. They're everywhere. 'I'll get mine' seems to be a common mantra.

I want a Baron 58... I think. Something decent that can actually take the family places so I don't have to non rev. But the makes and model changes month to month.

But if not an airplane I would like a elk drunk on fermented apples in my tree:

You know when your wife takes you to the store and says "which one looks better, this one or this one?"

Well, which one fits better:

"Mr Johansson said the elk appeared to be sick, drunk, or "half-stupid", the Associated Press reported."

...and that's no way to go through life...

How many teenagers are out tonight to find fermenting apples still hanging on a tree? And what's the tolerance kn an elk? If a human ate those apples, what would happen?

Am I going to have to read beyond the first paragraph to find out?

5.5 hour flight with nothing but peanuts and sodas and no biz class.

On another note heard on CNBC that UniCal will stop honoring Amex Membership Miles after 30 Sept 11. That will leave Delta as the only US airline that will redeem Membership Miles.

What's the best mobile phone app for checking airline flights? I'm looking for something that lists ALL flights (SWA, Delta, USAir etc.) between city pairs, ordered by time, so I can land and figure out what I've got for commute flights.

In the past I used the OAG version (10 years ago), but now it's only "online"--I really want one that is periodically updated and the data lives on my phone, so I can look at it without web access when needed.

Anyone have experience with the current OAG mobile app, or other good suggestions? Don't want to browse to all the airline's pages....
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure AA honors those miles too.
