JET?<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Los Angeles! It's nice to be home for more than 2 days (I haven't
been on a plane for almost a week and I am starting to get the jitters).
I do have another crazy story for you. You all know about last
week's "stolen" rental car. Well, last Wednesday night I took United
flight 21, the last flight out (JFK- LAX ). I had a long day
so I was pretty tired. While we were taxing down (20 minutes from
the gate) the runway and I was listening to (channel 9) the pilots communicate
with the tower and I hear them request to go back to the gate because of
a engine malfunction. No big deal, right? It's getting late and it
just doesn't make you happy when the pilot says "Well folks, are long flight
to L.A. has just gotten longer". It was kind of aggravating because you
don't know if it was legit or if this was because of the United pilots
"slow down" (they are supposedly doing this to a lot of flights to make
a statement while they negotiate their labor contract). We finally
land at 1:30am (4:30am EST), I was sitting in Business and
I wanted to make sure I was the first person to get a taxi because at that
time of night the their aren't too many taxi drivers working. While
sleep-walking (real fast) in the airport (trying to beat the first class
passengers), I realized I only had one bill in my pocket and it was $100.
I knew no taxi driver would cash it and someone was already at the only
ATM in the terminal. I decided not to wait and to gamble. I
made it to the taxi line first (Yes!). I get in the taxi and
don't break the bad news to the driver right away out of fear of kicking
me out. I ask "hey buddy you don't happen to have change for a hundred
do you"? "NO", he yells. O.K. I wait about 30 seconds and say
"How about taking a credit card", NO! Alrighty then (plan C),
we make a quick stop at the ATM and I take out $20. We get
to my house and the meter reads $16. I give him the $20 and tell
him to "keep the change". He looks at me funny (and I'm thinking
what he's never got a $4 tip before?). After a much needed good night
sleep in my own bed, I go to work. While at lunch I go to pay and I open
my wallet and guess what? The only bill I have in there is.....
That's right a twenty, A TWENTY!
$84 dollar tip....... That hurts.

TIP OF
THE WEEK:
By Chris
McGinnis
Harried business travelers who juggle meetings with flight schedules
and leave little time for healthy eating may
find that all their haste may be making more "waist." Some tips for healthy
eating on the road:
-
Check menus before you sit down. Steer clear of fatty foods like
meats with gravy, cream sauces, fried foods and heavy desserts. Airport
restaurants, fast food establishments, and "fern bars" serve primarily
high-fat, high cholesterol fare.
