Patrick Quayle

I could do without the reality show.

But Patrick Quayle, who runs a network there, he did suggest a Netflix documentary on United's new network choices would be coming.

And that is something I absolutely would watch.

So the big news this year is the A321XLR.

The vast majority of them are returning year after year.

I think that means that United is making good money here.

But I've noticed on some of these conference calls with Patrick Quayle, every year the airline does these things and media and bloggers are allowed to ask questions.

And people ask this gotcha question to Patrick every year of, oh, well, you have all these new routes.

Maybe in the design main check-in area, that's charming.

But once you get on the train, which also Patrick and Ryan will appreciate this.

We had to take the train because we left out of the sea gates.

So we didn't take the people movers.

Yeah, exactly.

Go see what what grandpa did.

Yeah, and this also fits in with Patrick Quayle at United, his whole open jaw thing, right? You fly to Tokyo, and then on the way back, hey, let's go to Okinawa, see where my grandfather served, and then we can fly home directly from Okinawa.

This is going to be great.

Anything else, Magna? What did we miss?

Yeah, I was going to say with the XLR, like one thing that also at least stood out when United was making the announcement, like their head of network, Patrick Quayle, he did say that at least like they're being a little bit more conservative with the way that they deploy the XLR as far as like the distances go.

Yeah.

because it didn't necessarily seem like they were entirely at least convinced that the XLR XLR can go the full range that Airbus has advertised.

So I'm not sure how much impact there is, although it's certainly going to boost their tourism business.

Anyway, super interesting this year, as it has been the last several years because of the creativity of Patrick Quayle.

United Senior Vice President, Global Network Planning and Alliances.

This announcement has become an annual geography quiz.

Albia has a population the size of Utica, New York.

Go figure.

But Patrick Quayle is going to try and make it into a tourist destination for Americans.

I applaud you for doing a beautiful job on

One more thing.

I'm going to live preferably non-vicariously through Patrick, who had a horror of a time.

And I didn't even get his approval to tell the story.

I'll apologize later.

I was, yeah, I was going to say, why not just stay on Acela at that point? It's only another two and a half hours.

Well, yeah, he initially, he was the one who said he should just take an Acela down from Boston.

But anyway, that's okay because Caleb regrouped and using his powers as a foamer was able to tell Patrick, flew to Philadelphia.

There were seats to Philadelphia.
