AA slashes mileage accrual from partner flights in unannounced move this weekend. -- (link) - iSpam Jul 18, 05:22 3
- Sortof announced, in a way. When they announced the August 1 official date as switch to spend-based RDM - ty97 Jul 18, 05:27 2
  - Good point. I didn't think about that. -- nm - iSpam Jul 18, 05:50
  - Also LYC - ty97 Jul 18, 05:28
FAA bans flights to the US from Turkey - ty97 Jul 18, 05:08 1

I really wish I could find a video of how Hamilton's Satisfied is done on stage. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 03:56 12
- There is a PBS special coming with some footage of the show. -- (link) - oblique Jul 18, 05:32
- I still don't understand why they don't release a DVD version of the actual play - Beaker Jul 18, 04:26 10
  - dont tickets to the actual play cost way more? therefore dont like they more money and limited availability, meaning more money. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 04:28 9
    - aftermarket tickets cost way more; but a million DVDs at $20-$25 would be a nice haul; and people would still go to the plays -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 04:33 8

        but this assumes people would stop going to the plays. Do people not go to concerts cause they can buy a CD? -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 05:32 2
        
        Better analogy: do people stop going to concerts because the concert was filmed and released? -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 05:33
        
        (but I see you point; would just open up a huge market; especially for older shows; I'd love a Harry Potter DVD of the How to Succeed in Business show -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 05:33
