So much for using your miles to get upgrades...

American Airlines is getting rid of all
first class seating on all flights by 2024... 
 
American Airlines is ditching its first class seat offering on long-haul flights because customers have stopped booking seats in the premium cabin. "First class will not exist on the 777, or for that matter at American Airlines, for the simple reason that our customers aren't buying it," American Airlines's chief commercial officer Vasu Raja said during an investor call Thursday. Raja was responding to a question of whether the airline plans to retire the offering on some planes.
In September, American unveiled its new 'Flagship Suite' business class, as part of plans to increase the number of premium seats available on its long-haul flights by 45%, by 2026. 
 The Flagship Suite - which includes a lie-flat bed, and privacy door - will be installed on America's brand new  Boeing 787-9s and Airbus A321XLRs from 2024. The airline will also retrofit its 20 Boeing 777-300ERs with the new suite late the same year, it said. 
So the customers won't pay a premium for a first class seat, 
but they will pay a triple premium for one of these so-called 'suites'? 
Great friggin' business plan American...

All you have to do to realize that America's 'brain trust' can't be trusted anymore is to watch any one of the Liberty Mutual commercials on TV with that fuckin' emu...

Existing home sales fell for the eighth straight month in September. That's the longest slump since 2007, just months before the US housing crisis hit a fever pitch and crashed the US economy as foreclosures piled up.

Was Biden in the Senate when Hillary ran for the Senate seat 
(and won, ferfucksake) in New Tork in spite of the fact that she had never lived there before? 
Clinton and her husband purchased a house in Chappaqua, New York, in September 1999; she thereby became eligible for the election, although she faced few characterizations of carpetbagging since she had never resided in the state before running.

 A family of four could pay as much as $1,100 to spend the day at Disneyland during the upcoming holiday season, and that’s before shelling out for food or souvenirs, according to a new report. 
The sum total - taking into account the latest price hikes at “the happiest place on earth,” which have risen even faster than inflation this year - was calculated for a group of two adults and two children between the ages of 3 and 9.
The family of four would pay $1,086 per day in order to park a car at Disneyland Resort, get the “Genie+” skip-the-line pass, and obtain a “park-hopping” ticket that would allow them to move freely between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. 
A ticket for anyone above the age of 10 could cost up to $269 per ticket depending on the date on which the family visits. High-demand times including weekends and holidays tend to cost more. A ticket for a child between the ages of 3 and 9 costs $259 apiece — which includes the “park hopper” option and the “Genie+” fast pass. The parking voucher would set the family back another $30.
Food purchases as well as buying any toys or souvenirs could easily put the total price tag of the trip at around $1,500.
