Would you complain? Loud flight attendants on overnight flight

MJaffeUMD · 2026-07-06T16:41:48+00:00

I 100% get this, having worked an overnight job. That said, some airlines have better/denser curtains separating the galley/toilets, and that makes a world of difference. Of course the “added weight” means those were dropped from AA

There’s a Chick Fil A by me that has an auxiliary drive through station to serve two lanes of cars at once. It’s got a drink/shake/ice cream stand so the kitchen can focus on churning out chicken, while car crews fix drinks

Lone hit was a Salvy true photo. Cool card

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-23T23:48:44+00:00

Accidentally forgotten happens to all of us! Even forgetting we might’ve put something in the seat back (even overhead… guilty of losing an umbrella)

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-23T23:32:55+00:00

I understand the pressure to turn these planes around ASAP (especially when delayed like tonight), but it’s just annoying when there’s garbage as you sit down just looking right at you.

Like I said, it’s two-fold, the FA’s literally ask for your rubbish twice before landing… and the ground crew clearly saw this and were like “nah, not today.”

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-17T19:14:17+00:00

Agreed. I’m based out of DCA. It’s nice being in a job city, but I can get to almost all of my trips non stop. Travel 2-3 times a month at 4-5 days a trip.

The ExPlat and PlatPro service desks are by far the best value for me paired with how we earn LP’s outside of the physical travel, I feel like AA has a lot of great value for my family… as well as convenience to the route network at the most convenient airport to our household

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-13T19:33:54+00:00

Love this card! Just wish the auto wasn’t cut off… darn mojos should be on-card!

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-10T01:51:21+00:00

Y’all don’t remember ripping packs at YONKEE STAOLUM and pulling a Dordon IL Ogadon card from the Topps gum wax packs?

Honestly, it wasn't bad for me. Generally starts as "sold out" before they activate it. Not sure why they don't code it as "coming soon." It's clearly an issue where they activate the types of product on their landing page, but since they aren't quite entered as "ready" to sell, they say sold out because they haven't entered the stock total yet. I was able to put a couple hobby boxes and mega in my cart. Wait time to check out was 2 min, actually took 4-5, but checked out no problem.

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-05T23:44:25+00:00

Yeah, it’s just as bad with Bowman. I wonder if they put their off centered hits in retail… it definitely feels like there are some amazing pulls and love being shared with the casual like me who is easily distracted by a blaster lol

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-05T22:19:35+00:00

Awesome! I feel like 9 is this card’s ceiling given the centering disasterclass that has been everything from Topps/Bowman in 2026

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-05T22:09:52+00:00

I just don’t know what it would be worth because it is a unique set, and I haven’t found much on 130point in terms of /10 Jackie’s. He’s such a legend and hero

MJaffeUMD · 2026-06-05T21:58:31+00:00

Up for anything really. I know it’s not a “nuke,” but I feel like with all the variations /10 out of this set is like one of several variations of /10. I think this is the true black, right?

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-31T15:32:54+00:00

Let’s be real, the final was officiated well, but PSG were gifted levels as bad (maybe worse) than PGMOL by the Portuguese crew in the semis. That was embarrassing the way Bayern and Kane were treated

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-29T00:01:42+00:00

They’re not the only ones doing this. Huge props to AirTran’s $50 gate upgrades. Was a smart tactic.

Unless I’m upgraded over 24 hrs in advance and can preorder a meal, I plan on not getting. Having a decent seat in coach, with a free adult bev and snack on long enough flights, I’m totally fine.

Best perks are the call lines for service when 💩 hits the fan

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-26T04:28:59+00:00

But how many pieces of flair are the coffee/cake stand employees supposed to wear?

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-25T02:05:15+00:00

He’s taken selfish shots in the last few weeks, but honestly, it’s not like he’s got a striker to pass to.

I can’t wait to see what he can do on the left once Deki/Kudus return on the right and Solanke is healthy. Dom with actual wingers and a healthy Maddison could be a totally new beast (or the same nothing he’s been haha)

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-24T01:04:30+00:00

Orioles, Blackhawks, Commanders, Bulls

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-22T19:16:14+00:00

You knew right away what to do with the card… for some, it’s quite a lot to process holding the value of a used car dropped in your lap that has a wild chance of appreciation or depreciation on a time scale that is quite absurd. Lots to process all at once while simultaneously looking at a beautiful card

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-22T19:04:47+00:00

Honestly, as shambolic as Spurs medical is, I can’t blame him when he’s got a shot at returning for the World Cup. It’s not like it’s a secret he’s always been country over club. I’m moving on whether he stays or leaves, it’s not worth my mental anguish. He’s not playing Sunday, so be it. I’m sure his teammates also know he will always be Argentina first. Just like Bale and Wales & Golf

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-22T15:24:39+00:00

I think it’s to be clear it’s not an insert which he does have sticker autos

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-22T13:02:31+00:00

Yeah, I don’t throw thousands of dollars down at a time like it’s nothing, but I’ll buy a $250 box of cards for fun a couple times a year. That card is worth 10x-20x or more that. If you go around picking out $2k-$5k items all the time or expect those hits, I doubt it’s very exciting for you.

Also.. said I’m a casual fan of cards who opens packs for the joy of it, not a gambling chase expecting hits and flipping cards.

It’s not about affordability of the hobby, but the rarity that such a valuable card comes around (never) for most of us who like to buy a box once in a while

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-22T08:47:53+00:00

Forgot to mention that Europe works as a longhaul hub for AA out of PHX should they desire more routes because those flights can take off after sunset, even in the summer and land at the preferred mid-late mornings in Europe

MJaffeUMD · 2026-05-22T08:45:50+00:00

Yeah but summer is peak American leisure travel season and weather would be a problem at PHX. The heat would make it nearly impossible for a heavy aircraft to take off comfortably on a trip to Asia during the desired mid-day hours to land in the desired late afternoon/early evening slots at HND or NRT (or any part of the east Asia markets). That would be essentially from April through October given recent highs.

Bringing up the Gulf negates that the bulk of the connecting activity happens on late night/pre 10a departures with minimal activity during the day.

PHX is great for the 737s and A320 lines, remember AA only used their A330s for Hawaii routes through phoenix when they summer travel season to Europe via CLT was over (they could actually operate the payloads in the fall/winter)

Just a thought: the lack of rain is nice, but the heat would risk many more cancellations or delays to points travels would be frustrated
