802.11b was still the wi-fi standard when I last flew, and you were lucky to get it in an airport let alone a plane.

Last time I flew somewhere, most people still had dialup, and I didn't even have a cell phone.

You could listen to a crapload of Rush on that trip.

I had an office in Spokane. I scheduled a meeting shortly after 911. I had a manager that lived in Appleton, WI. He refused to fly so he took the train. If memory serves correct it took something like 6 days one way. 12 days of travel and 2 days of meetings.

I hate flying, too. Good thing I'm just fine with driving. Spokane to Appleton's probably about what, 2000 miles? I-90 most of the way, plus WI 21 and US 41. Stay in a truck stop parking lot for one night, probably somewhere in WY or western SD.

I have no idea what 802.11 is...sounds like an EPA Reg.

I fly about 20 times per year. Last year was less, I think it was 12, but the year before I think I had 31 segments. (not including corporate jet flights, which add about 12 extra flights per year) So I get plenty of opportunities to spend time in planes.

edit: I have several trips coming up too. Travel is increasing. 2 corp. flight trips, on back to back weeks the last week of May and the first week of June. A 9 segment behemoth of a trip to several South American countries. A week-long trip to BFE eastern New Mexico (4 segments to get to Lubbock or Amarillo, and a couple hour drive from there). And a week in Salt Lake City. Most likely all before the end of July.

802.11 is the IEEE control ID for the WLAN standards (wi-fi standards). The version is then denoted with the suffix a, b, g, n, etc.. 802.11b is about 12 years old now, for being common to the public.

Here's a quick bit on it, if you're interested (which you're probably not). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11

Even though this is meant to be an explanation, I might be more confused now than before. :p

Now I don't know what IEEE or WLAN are...but don't worry, I don't need to know. If my computer doesn't work either someone fixes it for me, or I buy a new one.

IEEE = Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; it's the professional group that sets standards for electronics.
WLAN = Wireless Local Area Network; common parlance, people call it "Wi-Fi".

Good Afternoon, Lodge!

The concert was awesome last night. Somewhat tired still, but worth it.

I haven't flown in a Delta CRJ-700. None of United's CRJs have Wi-Fi yet, that I know of.

Ok. I never fly United, so that may be the difference. I stick with Delta whenever possible, and if Delta doesn't work out, I will go with American. Those are the only 2 carriers I have frequent flyer accounts with.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #176 -- it's Mookie's world, we are just living in it

United makes you pay for watching TV. I try to avoid them out of principle because of that.

Maybe fewer crying/screaming babies fly on United for that reason also. ;)
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #176 -- it's Mookie's world, we are just living in it

With all of it said, I really don't ever see the need to actually use wi-fi on a plane. If it were there for free, I'd maybe check twitter, or the boards, but I don't miss it. I usually just read a book or listen to music. Our new corporate jet, that is supposed to be rolled out in the next several weeks has wi-fi, supposedly so we can do work on board, but where I fly it doesn't seem like we're on board long enough to get anything substantial done, other than reply to some emails.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #176 -- it's Mookie's world, we are just living in it

Most, if not all, of our American E175's have wi-fi, while the others don't. I would venture a guess the new United stuff will too...
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #176 -- it's Mookie's world, we are just living in it

Many have wi-fi. Only JetBlue (that I know of) has free wi-fi.

That's because you rarely fly.

I flew 2-3 times a year during 2008-2013. Now, that's not even in the ballpark (or even city that contains said ballpark) of some of you (bbdl, you), however, 20 minutes is a huge variation from the 2 hour show-up recommendation that the airports give. And MSP security sucks. DIA is quick, COS is non-existent, and SC (Greenville) is a breeze.

Edit: as for Wi-Fi, it's a need at the airport. On the plane? I just read.
