Yes, I read it to my wife and said: "That's Jay Honeck who posts in
the aviation newsgroup." She was VERY impressed.

(Never mind that what Alexis Park Inn was doing what we as travelers
hate to see: 72 hour commitment!)

BTW -- for PILOTS ONLY we offer our "IFR Cancellation Policy" -- meaning
that you can cancel right up till 6 PM if conditions drop below VFR minimums
along your route of flight.

We know what it's like traveling in Spam Cans...

What happens if you dump a cylinder enroute in East Undershirt Wyoming?

We charge you double, and have your shop just add our fee to the bottom of
your bill. Most pilots will never notice it.

Oh, wait -- you *are* the shop. Crap, that won't work with you...

Really?

I don't subscribe to the WSJ -- is there an on-line version of the article?
What did they say about us?

(I know they interviewed Mary last week -- when I had laryngitis -- about
our cancellation policy...)

Got it -- thanks, Rod.

Although "article" may be a bit grand. It's more like a 3-word mention (in
passing, at that) in a one paragraph "blurb"...

What's funny is they don't give the issue any context at all, nor do they
even explain *why* we have a 72 hour cancellation policy. Since I overheard
Mary explaining it the reporter, it's not like they didn't know the
answer -- they just didn't bother to pose the question.

Ah, well. After spending most of my life in newspapers, I really shouldn't
be surprised.

I am curious just why you have a 72 hour cancellation policy. It is not
normal for hotels and it would be a show stopper for me. I looked at
the web site and it also gives no reason for the policy. I can
understand the special event policy although I don't agree with it.
