Well with me living in Atlantic City for the next few weeks, I decided that a weekend trip to the grandparents would be done from there and not from DC. So my first trip from PHL it was. Getting to PHL from ACY was not a problem. Getting into long term parking was not a problem. Getting a bus in the driving rain that soaked me to the bone, impossible. The bus shelters are not marked worth a dam and I was drenched. So getting into the terminal I was not a happy camper. I checked one bag, taking 20 minutes to get through the line. Bag was checked at 0640 for a 0730 flight. The guy at the counter was not giving me a lot of faith I'd make the gate on time. Well I got upstairs and there was no line at security. Right through and no problems or questions. US 912 767 N648US PHL-CLT 0730 The aircraft was full, they left plenty of time to load, and their process was not bad. The first woman though the line that got tagged for a check demanded a supervisor. Not sure why, did not see anything really happen, and she was still fuming when she got on the flight. I got an isle on the 2 seat side, was not bad at all. We were ready at 0730 to push, but the wx held us at the gate for 20 minutes and we took off 30 minutes late. Flight was not bad, but here is my minor gripe at US. They came through with a drink cart. I don't expect much except a cup of something and a cracker. Well guess what. No cracker. It's not that I want them to feed me, but at least give me something to fend off the hunger gremlins. I understand cost cutting, but this is going a bit far folks. We got into CLT with 1/2 hour to spare before my flight to MYR. US 1503 734 N424US CLT-MYR The aircraft was there, but they were not boarding because of a mx issue. They announced it was an avionics related issue, and came back 15 minutes later to let us board. Got into Myrtle Beach no problem otherwise, about 30 down because of the issue. Bags in good time, service friendly, no problems. US 0514 734 (Unk Reg) MYR-CLT Got to the airport 1.5 hours before flight, had 3 people in front of me, no problems checking in or at security. Flight arrived a few late, no problem, but the weather had other ideas. We took off 10 late, got to the CLT area, and held. And held. But with the schedule padding it was not a big deal. We landed with like 30 minutes before my flight to PHL, with me going from B to C concourse. Unk US Flight number and reg, 757 CLT-PHL Flight went on time, but I did not expect to find my bag in PHL with the short turn. Got on a full 757, and sat next to a US Steward who was on vacation on his way back to PHL. Talked a little bit to him, asked if these 100% load flights had been the norm and he rolled his eyes and said yep. Again, not even a thing of nuts, but the crew was friendly enough. Landed on time, and, my bag was there. I hate to say it, for all of peoples USScareways jokes, they, as they normally do, got me where I was going with no real problems. I think they are cheaping out a little much, but then again, I'm not flying them transcon either. I have another 4 segments on them over Thanksgiving, we'll see how that goes. Shawn
