They'll cross that bridge when they get to it. I didn't know United owned any submarines.

They wanted to name it "Monica", but realized it would always be "going down".

Ted will begin flying customers on Airbus A320s (search) in February, starting with four planes with 156 seats each, 18 more than United's other mainline A320s. Airbus A320 - Strike one!
18 more seats than usual - Strike two!
TED? - Strike three!

I'm not sure I know how to take this thread. Ted has always been ok for me.
P.S., I was born in Mass, but I'm not from there, and am no relation to that other Ted.

In a related development, American Airlines confirmed it has named its fledgling low-cost carrier venture "Can".

"Hi, I'm Ted. Fly me!"
To: BOBTHENAILER
Great thread, no? Absolutely!
I heard that Bill Clinton likes to fly United, while Hillary prefers TWA-That's if you believe the rumors, of course...
To: graycamel
Ted ??? Sheesh, that's like naming a car "Nova" and trying to sell it to hispanics.
