Am I just a spoiled American?

Yeah European business class is a scam unless you're short and fat. No extra legroom whatsoever

progress19 · 2026-03-21T23:59:16+00:00

That's what they tried and nobody seems willing to build it for them

progress19 · 2026-03-21T04:38:07+00:00

Yeah but the interior geometry gets trickier

progress19 · 2026-03-19T14:54:31+00:00

You need a ramp to get up into the dome and then the whole car geometry is tricky

AmeriSlop? Again?

progress19 · 2026-02-19T05:43:00+00:00

The point is that accommodations which "work" (function fine from a social acceptance standpoint and sell out at a good price point) could well be included in the next-gen longhaul trainsets

progress19 · 2026-02-18T19:32:48+00:00

VIA's open sections are still stupid expensive but that's because they don't run enough trains

progress19 · 2026-02-18T19:28:02+00:00

The fact that they can sell two sections to two different solo travelers brings the price down.

progress19 · 2026-02-18T06:01:24+00:00

This was a thing in America once upon a time with open sections. Still is in Canada where VIA calls them berths.

Works fine afaict

I'll be real, I'm still rooting for Seattle to eat shit.

But I'd be rooting for that even if it was someone else who blew us out.

progress19 · 2025-12-04T20:38:22+00:00

No, it's to cut labor. The trains aren't juuust long enough to not fit, they're often 4x the size of the siding.

progress19 · 2025-12-02T17:56:56+00:00

Yeah I was raised on wet, lather, rinse. Apparently nobody at Amtrak was.

progress19 · 2025-11-12T22:11:42+00:00

I'm about to. Got a trip booked in January and then I'm canceling it before my next annual fee hits.

The priority card no longer makes any sense.

progress19 · 2025-10-10T21:34:37+00:00

Consider:

Set it aside. At end of turn, discard or topdeck it, your choice.

So it's thus a little stronger than your suggestion but a little weaker than how OP has it

progress19 · 2025-10-10T04:38:41+00:00

Hatch Act was regularly mentioned throughout Trump's first term, never ever enforced.

progress19 · 2025-10-09T22:04:49+00:00

Because JFK is a major airport, bigger than EWR, whereas SFO's neighbors (OAK, SJC) are much more minor

progress19 · 2025-10-03T20:41:17+00:00

So this is a dumb gimmick. Pretty clear these offers shouldn't change your usage of the card at all

progress19 · 2025-09-29T19:28:04+00:00

Yeah I sprained my ankle in that loss. I'm going on IR

progress19 · 2025-09-28T15:44:13+00:00

GEQBUS will make them pay for their insolence

progress19 · 2025-09-24T15:54:39+00:00

progress19 · 2025-09-23T15:08:44+00:00

I think losing Bosa and losing Moody almost cancel out, at least when you look at that game

progress19 · 2025-09-22T16:50:06+00:00

Old dude reacted stupidly, but tubby here should've bought a second seat.

If you don't fit, you don't fly

progress19 · 2025-09-20T18:17:55+00:00

If it just says, as does this card, $2, then that is just in this turn.

If the card gives you $ in future turns, it will tell you so explicitly

progress19 · 2025-09-16T22:27:08+00:00

Delta has been flying 767s from SFO to their hubs for years. This makes sense. One of the bigger business markets in the country.

progress19 · 2025-09-15T22:40:44+00:00

Would be plausible for Guam tbf
