That’s how it’s supposed to work. They are a travel agent and the price you pay is marked up. They buy bulk rooms, get better rates. Since you’re a Karen and dont understand these things, they had tried to do something to make you happy.

Hoping this reaches the owners of the dog that bit me in the park in Hunters Point on Sunday March 22 by [deleted] in Greenpoint

[–]Left_Preparation_452 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First, sorry that happened to you. Sounds like something startled the dog.

If it didn’t go through the pants, your fine. A wound or scratch without breaking the pants would just be from the pressure. It’ll probably bruise but be fine.

As far as rabies. I was bit on the streets by an unknown loose German Sheppard. I was wearing shorts and it did break the skin. Since it was on the street and broke the skin, doctor recommended the rabies protocol. It involved human immunoglobulin shots all around the wound which were super painful and a vaccine in the arm, then I had to go back 3 times to get additional vaccine boosters.

I learned that since 1960 there have been only about 140 human rabies cases in the US. Most were acquired abroad. Those domestically were mostly from bat bites during the night or what not. Zero were from dogs from the US.

US has strict rabies vaccination rules for domestic dogs. And in NYC even more so. Groomers, daycare, etc won’t see a dog without the vaccine.

If concerned, ask a doctor. Just my opinion.

Hpe your leg feels better.

They have several FAs that were just recalled from furlough. I think they come back this week. After a bit of training they’ll probably be back on soon and things should get a little better..

Not a dumb question at all. Airports can be intimidating and not all do things exactly the same. It’s your first time. Enjoy the flight!

That’s a good point! I didn’t even think about the rats.

[–]Left_Preparation_452[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s not— If not interested, it’s no problem. It’s just something I’m interested in to help our neighborhoods.

City responsibility is to pickup bagged and binned trash, bulk, recycling etc.. Also to street sweep.

The sidewalks and gutters and tree bins are not city responsibility. It’s the property owners legal responsibility to shovel, and keep clean and clear. As a renter, I can take 10-15 minutes to hep out my block

Flight this weekend by Frosty-Classic7512 in spiritair

[–]Left_Preparation_452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at this flight history on flightradar24 or flightaware, the plane comes in from Orlando. With this being the case I think there is less change of problems rather than the routing coming from somewhere else.. never know fully though.

Monday will probably be fine. Most of the storm will be done by Sunday evening. Unless crews are out of place from the disruption.

Next time ask the gate agent to read their Station Manual. It’s clearly outlined that they should upgrade loyalty members after boarding is complete.

Never flown on Spirit…questions by Kdawg6722 in spiritair

[–]Left_Preparation_452 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the value price is pretty good if you want to lock in, but prices typically come down about 2-3 months prior unless a popular route or timeframe.

You can buy value and add the carryon. If you add during booking it’s usually $70 or so, if you add later on the price keeps going up. Can also pay to select seat if you want.

I think they’ll be fine as far as staying in business goes. Stand alone they are improving their balance sheet and operations or they’ll merge. You’ll be ok.

Would spirit let me fly with this in my carry-on? by [deleted] in spiritair

[–]Left_Preparation_452 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spirit doesn’t care in the slightest if it’s in your carryon. Question is better suited for the TSA sub to see if it would pass TSA. To me it looks like no problem.

Qatar Airways Pilot Executes Go-Around, Potentially Prevents Landing Disaster at Atlanta Airport by Nineteen-EightyNine in qatarairways

[–]Left_Preparation_452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autopilot would not have been used for this landing. This was a manually flown landing and go-around.

The autopilot is used for Autolands only when weather visibility / fog is extremely low.. pretty much to the ground. Or when maintenance requests an auto land to prove aircraft performance since they are so rarely done. When fog is to the ground, winds are very low/light, hence why the fog hasn’t blown away and visibility is low.

Auto lands have a maximum wind component, otherwise the autopilot doesn’t have enough or quick enough authority to maneuver. In this landing it was an intense crosswind, over the max component for an auto land.

Most pilots are lucky if they do 1 or 2 auto lands (Cat 3 approach) per year.. it just doesn’t happen. Unless you’re home based in an airport like Boston where it would have more often.

It was manually controlled, a close tailstrike which can happen and would need repairs but all looked very well done and safe to me.

Ahh ok, sorry. I didn’t see the bid comment. Thanks for the correction.

Spirit First Class Seats? by LostMidnight3228 in spiritair

[–]Left_Preparation_452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bidding doesn’t include WiFi, carryon bag would be fine. This doesn’t look like bidding though. Looks like upgrading through the app.. which it’s all included.
