DJS Press said:If you're a US Airways guy it's quite likely that we have seen each other on flights before. I fly out of Philly -- mostly to LA or Chicago lately, but my territory is North America so I can end up just about anywhere. And you're right, first class is the way to go -- even if it's just for the more comfortable seat and getting off the plane fast. I probably get upgraded about 90% of the time for the past five years. Air travel ain't what it once was, but flying coach just sucks.
Forget about my zipper idea for the Barnstormer. I forgot it was double-breasted, so that would take a pretty major redesign. I think my Long Half Belt is the longest body length Aero that still has a zipper. Those buttons should be fine -- can't imagine them getting ripped out of that horsehide.
I used to fly US Air when I lived in the philly area between 2002 and 2005 (I lived near valley forge for a few years), but since 2005 I have flown continental, NWA, and Delta exclusively. My current airport has 7 gates but only 2 seem to work at a time and there is NEVER a line for the TSA. I have been out in CA quite a bit lately too. Next few weeks are easy flights to ATL, but I get to finally try out my Clear card...hopefully that cuts down on the lines.
I really only get upgraded when I fly out of major Continental locations (unless its SFO...never for SFO for some reason) as they are my main carrier. Hopefully I will get to cut down on travel soon (praying lol).
About the barnstormer, its not that Im worried about the buttons or the horsehide, Im thinking that the thread would be the weakest link and should a button rip out, I would be fearful of allowing anyone other than Aero fix it, which would be one heck of a shipping charge. Thats pretty much my only reservation on the custom coat that I would order.
