Is it hard to get Cal layover lines out of ORD? Whenever the day may come that we start transition and classes again I am heading to Chicago. I am going to miss the flying out here (Not the commute!) and want to bid for flights heading out this way. I should be bidding in the low hundreds when I get there. Thanks!

Man PM me I'll always hook a brother up with some In 'n out. I grew up in Bakersfield, and will be here till my class starts. But In 'n Out is pretty much walking distance from the sheraton

I did so much modifying this month that I only have one two-day trip (IDA layover) that is part of my original line!

Just a note...if you have a long break in LAX you can take the "parking spot" shuttle to the In-N-Out that's right next to their garage. Just tip the driver a buck each way and they will be happy to take you, crews go all the time...
