Where's FT Junior??
Following a tremendously successful inaugural Frequent Traveler Awards ceremony I am happy to announce that FT Junior is now out in the wild, touring the world. His first flight will be AS 731 on November 5, 2010. He'll be riding with TalkBoard President and FT Awards Nominations Committee Chairman gleff, naturally in F.
He's picked up one of the limited edition Breast Cancer Research/FlyerTalk tags as his first treat and looks forward to collecting many more.
Please enjoy tracking his adventures with us over the coming years. I'll get a FM/OF site up shortly.

It's a special "for the cure" version. Randy announced a week or two ago, and they are now available via the FT Store
Hope it's a sturdy statue, it looks bulkier and more difficult to carry/pass around than its predecessory. Congrats on getting the FT Awards off the ground!

I passed FT, Jr along to sbm12 yesterday though my hope was that it would make it to dublin and be picked up by thezipper, perhaps even in time to make it back to the US in a couple weeks and then embark on its first visit to the first class terminal.

I got to meet FT Junior yesterday morning during a tour of the Theo Chocolate factory, although I didn't see him leave. I wonder if the Oompa Loompas kidnaped him and coated him in chocolate...

He missed the trip to Ireland and instead has been touring around Seattle and Washington state in a styling rental car the past couple days. He'll be making the transcon trip back to EWR with me (in F, naturally ) and then we'll figure out the next stops from there.

FT Jnr raises $200 for the SMD2 raffle!
Some SMD2 & FT Award attendees donated to the SMD2 raffle in exchange for a photo of them holding him. Please PM me if this was you. Also, I will upload them when I can. Thank you! You helped FT Jnr raise $200.
Those folk who designed FT Jnr did a great job. He's comfortable to hold & has a lot of very interesting body contures. Observed at the FT Awards that very few people just held him - most explored, like a tactile art work!
