day 11

It amazes me that a multi billion dollar airline company refuses to pay two thousand, five hundred dollars to replace the things that were "lost" by their employees.  I went to managua today, missing my classes, just to be told that they were not liable for any electronics lost.  Lucky for them, they "lost" my electronics bag and not my bag with my clothes in it.  This means i have to replace my own sonicare toothbrush, self cleaning razor, and retainer.  This isn't that big of a deal.  My camera bag is another story.  I have about $1400-$1700 worth of equipment in there, not to mention that i'm a photographer for The Legacy.  Without a camera it's going to be hard to keep my job.  But i understand.  With terrorism and gas prices continental can't be expected to watch out for their costumers.  Especially when they only charge $800 dollars for a two hour flight.  With prices that low, they can't be expected to actually have our best intrest in mind.  

They did offer me a $150 dollar voucher for any continental flight but I told them that it's worthless to me because i'll never fly continental again.
