I would look forward to IHOP's...I LOVE the spinach crepe w/hollandaise YUMMY!

We were talking to a J GM the other day...he said that when the merger/buyout, whatever it is, is complete, ALL current J employees will have to RE-APPLY through Pilot, in order to keep their jobs. (And more than likely lose whatever scant benefits they get through flying J...seniority, health, whatever....that sux!)

Even the extremely poor Dennys that USED TO BE in Cheyenne would be an improvement how ever very small over most of the J food tastes. 90% of what I had from the J tasted about as good as running out back and taking a huge bite out of a card board box.

Actually, in some cases the cardboard box would be preferable from both the taste and nutritional standpoint. Personally I prefer the Krispy Kreme boxes, and tend to stay away from personal hygiene product boxes. I'm weird like that.

Where does someone get "BUY-OUT" from "MERGER"?
PILOT LLC has in no way "purchased" nor do they "control" market shares of Flying J Inc.

Ok so perhaps I was wrong with buy out... but the trucker's channel on XM had actually said buy out. And this is what I was told by someone in corporate as far as the restaurant situation.

Buyout or Merger...who cares. It will never be the same. I vote for Denny's! I love those places.

Denny's would be my choice for here, since we do not have one in Dothan...
But I do like the J here and have ate there several times...

Maybe this rumor started with one of the newer Flying J's in Texas, that has a Denny's, Jarrel, one exit south of where Doc's used to be.

But if they built a slew of IHOPs this would provide a lot of employment to amputee waitresses! (Sorry I couldn't help myself)
