America West FlightFund (Pre-2005 US Airways merger) - get together

Has anyone on this board ever try to organize some type of get together? I couldn't think of something more interesting and most definitely entertaining then getting a bunch of us at a happy hour discussing HP/US, etc.

I'm game and will gladly organize something if anyone is at all interested.

I would be interested. It really would be facinating. :)

We could all gather outside Tempe headquarters to let them know what we think of the "apparent" HP-led decision to remove Power Ports from the US Airways equipment. Perhaps we could make signs :D LOL

Dangit!!! I'd love to go . . . but I just re-loed to the Bay Area . . . I may be hanging up the roll aboard for good . . . can't say I'm depressed about that.

I think it would be interesting as well . . . I have to go back and update my list of FTers I'd most like to meet.

I say we meet for a halloween costume party. I'll be easy to spot as I'll be the one donning a hotpocket costume :D

but in all seriousness, if we get enough interested, the Village Tavern right down the street in Scottsdale is an excellent place and would make a great happy hour venue with their large bar area.

I'd be up for it if we hit a day I wasn't out of town.

I'd be glad to join in... Does the Village Tavern have the official America West First Class meal (http://www.hotpockets.com/) on its happy hour menu?

LOL :D ^

I'll give it a few more days waiting for replies. Perhaps next Friday 9/23 at Village Tavern?

Should I call ask fly747first to be designated driver? Sorry mate, couldn't resist :cool:

I'm game, but I'll be in Portland that week :(

I would be game also, but I will be in Erie, Pa that weekend.

I did go to one get together at McCormick & Schmick's in the Biltmore area a year or two ago, right before we went to see "The Terminal".

They have a lot of happy hour specials that are $1.95. Here is a link to the menu: http://www.mccormickandschmicks.com/main.cfm?action=location&element=sample&type=happyhour&locID=50. Everyone seemed to enjoy and it was fairly centrally located.

If it ends up being another date I would enjoy going!

^ maybe

Count me in.

Perhaps Dawn Gilbertson of the AZ Republic would like to join us?

Tempe might be a good spot for those of us flying home on Fridays. Also I go out of my way to support Tempe establishments because they are
^ no smoking! :D

I'll be in Brazil until the beginning of October. After that I'm interested until the end of October (Peru).

Sounds like at least 1/2 of interested parties are out next weekend. Perhaps I should just pick a weekend day next month. Are Friday's or Saturday's in general better for anyone? Makes no difference for me unless I'm traveling on a Friday.

I usually travel back on thursdays. Of course I'm sure I just jinxed myself and will now travel every friday for a while. I'll be back the 29th of Sept but obviously that friday I'll not be in the mood for Happy Hour..just sleep. Any Friday after that should work.

Lance

Given that this is largely a group of travelers, coming up with a day that works for everybody would be something nearly impossible.

For me, the best time is Friday after working hours. Looking at my calendar, I have no weekend travel planned at all for October as things stand now.

Mark

Saturday afternoon or evenings work the best for me. I'll be gone on the 1st of Oct, but will be in town until almost the end of the month.

I'll be in SJU next Fri, for an FT gettogether

On a side note- some of us have tried to plan these on and off for yrs

The only two well attended ones were :

1. Feb 2002 - the draw that time was that B747 was to be in town - till the INS stopped that from happening- 17 attendees though

2. Last month when VJ did a MR seminar - there were about 26 or 27 of us there

Thought I'd ressurect this. Anyone want to put a saturday night date on the calendar? Seriously, after conversing with all you folks for so long it would be nice to put a face with a font :D

I'm usually around so if you guys can tolerate an undergraduate college student (who is a US Gold though) I'd love to join.

I'm also an undergrad. I'd be glad to meet some of the frequent posters of the HP forum, even though I don't post in this forum as much as I should be. :( That and I've always wondered who has been behind the insighful and funny posts. ;)

How is next Saturday the 4th looking like? If anything, let's meet for happy hour somewhere central for everyone?

I'll have to take a rain check :( Working in MEX on saturday, transiting PHX on Sunday.

Report back and get pics ;)

I will be in Hawaii on the $93 NWA fare this weekend, but would love to meet y'all some other time.

Can we schedule it for March 18 or 19? I am tied up on the east coast until then.

I'll also be in Hawaii on the $93 NWA fare. Most other March dates look good right now.

Are your crediting to HP or NWA? I was going to credit to HP for EQMs, but NWA is giving me 2500 bonus RDMs and I need slome SkyTeam EQMs anyway :cool:

See you on the plane and in Phoenix. I will hopefully have my FT luggage tags on my bag as I take my exit row seat.

I am crediting to FlightFund. I had considered crediting to Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan, but thought I'd take this final opportunity to earn some elite qualifying miles before the HP/NW partnership ends.

What are your days of travel? I fly HP PHX-LAX & NW LAX-HNL on 01MAR, NW HNL-LAX on 03MAR, and HP LAX-PHX on 05MAR.

but in all seriousness, if we get enough interested, the Village Tavern right down the street in Scottsdale is an excellent place and would make a great happy hour venue with their large bar area.
A convenient location for me.

So is this a private get-together or can even an 18yr FF agent attend...or would it be too risky?

US PHL-LAS Mar 02, HP LAS-LAX Mar 03, NW LAX-HNL Mar 03, HP SNA-LAS Mar 06, UA LAS-LAX-DEN-IAD-PHL Mar 06 - MR on the way to work. Overall, 9426 EQMs this weekend and only $170 total out of pocket for both trips!

Anyway, let's make a decision - will Mar 11 or 18 work for eveyone? I have to buy plane tickets ASAP for Mar 11. Can any of you Phoenicians sp? be the point person on making us a reservation? PM me. I want to get this DO organized as it has been a long time coming.
