Default United vs. US Airways

I am looking at flights to send my kids to camp, and United and US Airways
have, remarkably, the exact same flight schedules between FLL and CLT.
Besides a few dollars in price, is there any difference between these
airlines? I have never flown on either.

Thanks,
Chris

Its probably the same plane - a code share - are the last digits of the
flight numbers the same - thats usually a give away - also try looking at
them both through the airlines web sites one should tell you its operated by
the other.

It's a codeshare operated by US Airways.

As pointed out by others, they are code-share flights. CLT is the major
US Airways hub airport, and United has agreements with US to sell United
tickets on US planes on that route. All of the non-stop flights are on
US Airways aircraft.

You don't mention which airport you want in Washington. There are three
possibilities.

The least expensive flights, at the moment, are overnight connecting
flights into BWI on United. These flights use a combination of TED,
United, and United codeshare on US Airways. They are around $227, if
you depart Monday thru Wednesday. Other days of the week are about $20
more.

Daytime connecting flights are offered by a number of airlines at about
$275.

If you want a non-stop flight, then the fares start at about $410. A
number of airlines offer that fare.

About as much as anything in this group has to do with your WORK.

Idiot.

IP address: 171.71.79.66
Host name: mvoight-w2k02-1.cisco.com

About rogue Cisco employee and netkook/troll/usenet flooder
Michael Voight, alias "mrtravel", "mrtravelkay", etc.

"mrtavelkay" is the latest usenet handle of a brainless troll whose real name is
Michael Voight, e-mail .

Michael D. Voight
111 Bean Creek Rd, No. 118
Scotts Valley, CA 95066-4148
(831) 438-2485

He is better known by his previous stupid handle, "mrtravel".

The idiot works for Cisco in their Scotts Valley, California
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and apparently they don't
keep him busy enough so he has to troll usenet newsgroups all day long from
work.

***WARNING: THIS IDIOT HAS BEEN CAUGHT FORGING PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES ON USENET
AND CANCELLING THEIR POSTS.***

If you are one of his victims, or are simply fed up with his trolling/newsgroup
flooding, forward his posts to .

He works in technical support, so forward them to
too.

See further below for more Cisco contact information.

He often posts through sbcglobal and prodigy, so forward them to
and as well.

His main hangout is alt.visa.us.marriage-based, a sleazy newsgroup where
foreigners wanting to immigrate to the US hook up with losers like Voight who
are willing to marry them for money so they can get their green card. Voight is
a pro at this, handing out daily advice on how to be a sleazoid like him and
sell green cards.

When he isn't giving out advice on how to commit federal crimes on
alt.visa.us.marriage-based he is usually on rec.travel.air flooding that
newsgroup with trolls and harassing posters and picking retarded fights with the
regular posters there.

He also tends to post a lot in the personals and penpals newsgroups as well as
the support groups for fat people, lonely folks, and for depression. Obviously
after his Russian Internet brides get their green cards they flee, leaving him
lonely and desperate for company. Maybe that's why he keeps a P.O. Box at the
post office, so he can get his personals mail the

Voight, Michael
P.O. Box 67016,
Scotts Valley, CA 95067
(408) 461-8707

He also seems to frequent the teenage newsgroups. Creepy.....

The idiot is a two-time high school dropout and had to join the Marines because
even the Army rejected him!

He's got a daughter in Orange County that one of his ex-wives had the
intelligence to take away from him. Lord only knows what could have
happened to her if she had continued to live with the kook. The other kids he
has belong to his previous Russian sleazy brides, and since they come and go so
do the kids. It wouldn't hurt to let Cisco know what kind of deviant sexual
pervert they have working for them.

Many people have wondered how Cisco ever hired such a psycho. It cheapens their
image and credibility in the corporate world after all. Well, they didn't hire
him directly, he came as baggage when they acquired the company he used to work
for, TGV Software. His e-mail address there used to be .

All intelligent members of the usenet community have killfiled him, so he takes
great pains to get past their killfiles by rubbing his only two cerebral neurons
together and coming up with gems like: mrtrav , mrtrav3
, mrraveltay , and mrtravelkay
, and mtravelkay and ""a.a\"@a,a,a.

Some of his other trolling aliases are Network Guy,
, sleepydoc , jlhunt
, and Lost 5 of 8 , mrt ,
news.sf.sbcglobal.net , not-nomen
, David Tanner
, Jeff Davies , BobTheBuilder
. The lastest product of his brain diarrhea is Bill
Clarkj .

It would be a good idea to call Cisco at 1-800-553-2447 and ask to speak with a
supervisor and explain that you are EXTREMELY unhappy that this idiot spends his
whole day at work playing on the internet on company time. THEY WILL NOT LIKE
THAT.

Then write to corporate headquarters explaining what this idiot is doing and
telling them HOW BAD IT IS FOR THEIR COMPANY IMAGE. They will LOVE that you
brought this to their attention:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
170 West Tasman Dr.
San Jose, CA 95134
USA

Then also call them. You should always follow up email or letters with phone
calls. Always ask for supervisors or managers. Try to get as far up as
possible.

(408)526-4000
(800)553-NETS or
(800)553-6387

Contact Investor Relations and tell them you are interested in investing in
their company but won't do so until they get rid of this asshole who is wasting
company resources:

Cisco Systems, Inc.
Investor Relations Department
170 West Tasman Drive
San Jose, CA 95134-1706
Phone: (408) 526-8890
Fax: (408) 526-4545
Email:


Might as well contact customer service too, they LOVE to hear about this type of
stuff:

USA 1 800 553 6387




Then finally, send letters with copies of his nasty posts addressed
personally to each one of the OFFICERS of the company using the
headquarters address. Believe me, they READ your complaints and are VERY
INTERESTED in them, especially if it's about one of their employees. They will
take a PERSONAL interest in rooting this ASSHOLE out of their company:

John Morgridge, Chairman
John Chambers, President, CEO
Donald Valentine, Vice Chairman
Larry Carter, CFO, Sr. VP-Fin. and Admin., Sec., Director
Richard Justice, Sr. VP, Worldwide Field Operations

Have fun!

Thanks to all who responded. I didn't know about such things - very
interesting. US Airways at the moment is about $10-15 cheaper, so I guess
we'll book their part of the airplane!

Thanks again,
Chris
