Four cities in two days will do that to you.

Then a tiny ancient United puddle hopper to NYC (Mesa needs more new planes).
So sad. No upgrades even possible on a tiny embrear 145. @united contractors have an aging fleet. pic.twitter.com/zhYvoSm0ub

Train to Connecticut from Penn Station bright and early

Now leaving NY
Then it was on to the worst Hertz rental car of all time. Dirty, over milage, driven hard, shimmy. Just crap. You can really suck Hertz!

This Hertz car sucks

Post Smisek United Does Just Fine: Hertz Picks up the Suck Slack

Today’s flight from Dulles to Boston was on time. The wifi worked. The crew was not surly.
Good job United! You should have ditched Jeff Smisek years ago.
Seat 7C on a @united b737-800. Wifi and power. Legroom too. Nice equipment. pic.twitter.com/QbMZWkQuLG

Sadly the chaotic united boarding scrum had people out in the hallway as usual to board. Somebody should invent a civilized boarding system.
The awful @united boarding scrum still ongoing post smisek. United passengers treated like cows. Moo. pic.twitter.com/bfzT5mcZWt

Then there was Hertz. Not on the board (not enough employees to ready cars). A 25 minute, 40 car line of cars to exit the facility. No process. no adult supervision. Whoever manages the Boston Hertz at the airport should be fired.
