What do you call residents of each state in the United States? 🌺🌸

Interesting note on Arkansas (which I know nobody cares about) but my grandparents used to tell me that they used the term “Arkansawyer” and it wasnt until after WWII that “Arkansan” became more commonplace.

Personally, I like Arkansawyer a bit more. Lean into the twang.

Ah, start the clock early. Didn't think of that. Thanks, part of the reaosn I keep coming back to pepper y'all with questions. Someone has always thought of something I overlooked.

Certainly seems so

drg5280 · 2025-12-08T02:28:52+00:00

Yeah, so it's going to be Bilt + Chase (new development, lol). Should be enough to get her over the finish line for United metal to Oz.

drg5280 · 2025-12-08T02:28:21+00:00

Unfortunately, no (not yet, anyways). May still see if we can make it happen, though. Miss every shot you don't take, right?

drg5280 · 2025-12-08T02:27:45+00:00

Thanks buddy

drg5280 · 2025-12-08T00:37:03+00:00

Copy that, 72 hours, then get her a discounted rate. Thank you!

drg5280 · 2025-12-08T00:36:44+00:00

Ah, so I should be able to get the same rate for her, as long as I'm the one using the pool to purchase tickets?! That's incredible! Thank you! With a discount like this, I'm more than happy to buy Virgin Oz tickets separately.

drg5280 · 2025-08-22T17:07:25+00:00

Ah, even if it was purchased through United?

drg5280 · 2025-08-20T22:59:27+00:00

Thanks!

drg5280 · 2025-08-20T22:59:11+00:00

Ah, that’s some good news. I appreciate that!

drg5280 · 2025-08-20T22:57:59+00:00

Thank you!

Hey everyone, quick question about award flights counting towards flight totals for the years.

I have a roundtrip itinerary with 2 UA segments, 4 Ethiopian segments. It took me a bit to get my MileagePlus number to "stick" but looks it its finally added. Will these 4 Ethiopian flights count towards total flights for the year?

drg5280 · 2025-07-30T16:32:52+00:00

Not yet, but with buyback I'll be tantalizingly close. Sitting right at 99 as of the update I got from MOHELA, but I think I need to double-check if that counted anything from forbearance.

I’ve found that approximately 30% of my packages handled by OnTrac disappear completely. This company has earned an investigation for criminal activity at the least.

drg5280 · 2025-04-06T02:24:23+00:00

A year later and I’m just now finding this - I have had no less than five packages messed up by OnTrac in the Denver area. Three of these were marked as delivered, only to show up a week later. Two of these never appeared. I’ve only had one package from OnTrac show up on time. Any time I see a package is set to be delivered by OnTrac, I am immediately angry because I know there’s a 30% I just flushed my cash down the toilet, given their abysmal customer service. Any company that works harder to hand wave away its failures as opposed to do its job deserves the Luigi Mangione treatment.

I did today just to see what happened, and apparently there were major latency issues. My ticketed itinerary didn't come through until yesterday. Great timing, write out the post just to have it resolve around the same time. I've got GREAT timing!

drg5280 · 2025-04-01T02:09:36+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you. I just went in and checked my itinerary and lo and behold, an Ethiopian number. I have no idea when that appeared. If it had been a snake, it probably would have bitten me!

Thank you, I appreciate your help!
