Yeah, I'm pretty sure he has been.
IIRC, it cited verified sightings of Cigarman himself, specifically at DO type events. There was also verification of his legendary unique "chariman's circle" elite card...

So 16 hours in Coach on a full 747 with 28 inch pitch is not an eternity but simply 16 hours?

Ryanair would, if only they could get some 747-100s at the right price for their TATL service!

Sounds like a set up USAirways would use-not so much NW.....Hell, you don't even have to find a 747 with it....just go to a US A321!

Actually it got even more unique since they listen to us and did a million mile program. Ask to see it... at some event in oh... Feb.

What is his relationship to Continental? Does he work for them? Is he a friend of Larry's? Does his wife walk their dog with Larry's wife or do they have the same hairdresser? He has been a wonderful resource for all of us, but I am curious about how and why he can do what he does.
Hey! Don't forget I was the First President of the FLyerTalk board. And "dictator for life!" I served three years in a one year job, that was term limited. Viva the revolution!

Here is how my first event started:

The most entertaining part, to me, of that article is about how DL has an official presence on FlyerTalk. If only it were as good at CO Insider they'd have a lot to be happy about over on the DL forum.
