Glad you can make it.

I'll try to remember to bring a Flyertalk yellow luggage tag & put one on our table.

Per Flying Machine's comment above, it usually is somewhat easy to pick us out, I'll PM you my cell number prior to the Do so that you can text if needed.

As this group is likely to be a bit fluid, let's consider a good happy hour place that has some good eats. The Corner Door in Culver City is close to LAX and has some good happy hour nibbles, check their website http://www.thecornerdoorla.com/

I plan to attend as I work near LAX, but last minute emergencies are the norm.

This sounds like fun.

And, Laura told me that Willie is great at organizing these things!

Thanks, @flyingmachine for letting me know about this shindig!

Time would help, wouldn't it?

I plan to be there by 5:30pm if all is on time, my plane leaves at 10pm so will likely leave ~8pm ish.

Hope this helps for time!

Was hoping to be in town for this, but looks like I'll miss it by a week or so. How often is there a meetup in LA? I hope everyone has fun though!

I'd say approx every 3 months, nothing regularly scheduled. In Aug, a couple FTers and I had a fun evening hitting a bar for some drinks then heading to a Korean Kebab dinner.

Hope you can make a future LA Do!

Might be in the area and able to join.
For flyers coming from the Pacific West Coast, watch out for the weather.
Hopefully it will not affect this DO.
UA already issued a travel waiver:

Thanks for the heads up on storms, I've already had my fair share of delays this year so hoping no more for 2017
