Whenever you all start talking airlines and status, especially American Airlines, I presume you are attempting to distract me from something. - ty97 Oct 20, 17:11

      - this may surprise you, but i don't believe i have ever eaten a hot pocket....nm - x Oct 20, 18:07

      - He watched them fighthing, they were all there staring at it. -- nm - Han Solo Oct 20, 17:50 3
        
        He just wanted to get in the Falcon and get out of there. It was a good distance away -- nm - jangles Oct 20, 17:51 2

    - In a carbonite chamber. He didn't see any of the Vader v. Luke stuff that happened after -- nm - jangles Oct 20, 17:47
  - Darth blocked two blaster shots with his hand, then used the force to take away the blaster. -- nm* - Inigo Oct 20, 17:36 5

        That scene was definitely a call back to that quote. -- nm - Inigo Oct 20, 17:48 1
        
        I don't know that I've ever consciously put that together. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 18:09
  - in the movies, he didn't see much. but in the now non-cannon literature, i believe he saw quite a bit . . . -- nm - call me The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Oct 20, 17:30 1

About 11 billion of 17 billion recovered from Madoff. If you invested about $1 million or less, you'll probably get it back. -- (link) - Mop Oct 20, 16:46 2
- I don't understand how that can be possible. Investors have to have their money taken away to give to other investors. Unless I am missing something -- nm - Bacon Oct 20, 17:42 1

ML, we better do this while we can ... NFC playoff matchups per today: - rollo Oct 20, 16:44 2
- We should be the 4 seed. We're the NFC East champion after all. -- nm - David Oct 20, 16:49 1
  - It's only fair since you had us to your place, we get to host you in the playoffs. I think Emily Post said that. -- nm - rollo Oct 20, 17:02
Casey Neistat's flight to Mexico City is an excellent behind the scenes look at the American Airlines frequent flyers program. -- (link) - Mop Oct 20, 16:40 [youtube] 31
- Oh. Two days later he's in San Francisco and riding a courtesy cart. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:53
- It's like you don't even read my posts :( - ty97 Oct 20, 16:44 1
  - No, actually I felt the video was a nice compliment to your stories. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:54
- it's been a while since I watched, but I think one lounge was AmEx centurion and not AA - he dissed AA's lounge there. (I think it was that trip.) -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:43 27
  - That's the one. When he arrived in Miami, he picked the AmEx lounge over the AA lounge because he said their Miami lounge sucked. -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:44 26
    - he was a greedy guy there, too, ick. I wondered if it was a throwback to - b. Oct 20, 16:46 5
      - I'm with him. You put me in front of a free buffet, how can you not eat? -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:47 4
        
        but he said he does it until he feels sick, that's... not ok. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:49 3
        
        It's called "being a man". -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:50 2
        
        alrighty then, fine. guys are gross. ;p -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:51 1
        
        *shakes my cooties on you* - ty97 Oct 20, 16:57
    - The Miami lounge does sorta suck. The JFK lounges are good, particularly if you are eligible for flagship lounge. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:45 19
      - which (watching now) he does. So he is either flying international first class, he's flying international and he's EXP, or they have give him CK for - ty97 Oct 20, 16:47 18
        
        he has top-level status, too. he has access pretty much everywhere it's available from AA or amex. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:51 10
        
        The Amex thing was new to me. I had to Google Centurion. For $4500, you can be Centurion, too! -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:52 9
        
        I hear they are great lounges but never looked into them. $4500? Youch. Certain AMEX cards get you in too, I think. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:55 2
        
        The video shows the Centurion lounge briefly. Casey was impressed but it looked surprisingly crowded compared to the AA lounge. - Mop Oct 20, 16:58 1
        
        He was in the Flagship lounge at JFK. Access to that is very restrictive, and it tends to only really get busy a couple of times a day -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 20, 17:03
        
        iirc, it's more than that.. let's see, yah, 7500 "initiation" and then 2500 a year. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 20, 16:55 5
        
        Looks like folks with AMEX Platinum cards get in free and other AMEX cardholders can buy in for $50 per day - ty97 Oct 20, 16:58 1

        My Admirals Club membership is a steal in comparison! -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:56 2
        
        :) - amex has something less expensive that's also nice - and more appropriate for many. (actually, I'm not sure which casey has now.) nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 20, 16:59 1
        
        Oops! Yeah, I just looked. I saw "$4500" but it says "$7500" (and $2500 annually). -- (link) - Mop Oct 20, 17:00
        
        One of his earliest videos was about how to get free upgrades fly first class all the time. - Mop Oct 20, 16:49 [youtube] 6
        
        If he flies that much, and consolidates on AA, he's probably EXP. And since he famous, probably CK too. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:50 3
        
        I don't know what "CK" is, but given that no one ever gives him grief for filming, he's probably got something that says "VIP". -- nm - Mop Oct 20, 16:51 2
        
        Concierge Key is a private invite-only program for high value flyers. Basically top level status (EXP, which I am) plus VIP treatment (which I'm not) -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 16:55
        
        oh, he's been told not to. he often ignores it, but he's been told it's not ok. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 16:52
        
        CGP Grey's free upgrade program still has me a little stumped. - Mop Oct 20, 16:50 1

  - maybe, but did you invent a fake holiday just to spite him? - prayformojo Oct 20, 16:28 1
