767-400 Delivery Flight Commemorative Item
Who buys this junk with miles? Unless you: (1) were on the flight, (2) work for continental, or (3) work for boeing, why would you want this thing?

What's next? Are we going to bid our OnePass miles on 'panties worn by CO flight attendants' or plaques with individual quotations by Le Chairman - 'United has AIDS!', etc.? I know at least one person who would spend their NonePass miles for a trinket from the beloved Mao

Actually, the little glass globe thing isn't half bad, though I wouldn't bid more than about 500 miles for it.

Did somebody say that Chavon's panties are on the auction block?

Considering past posts from people drooling over the female flight attendants in the safety videos, I'm sure there would be several bidders!

I knew I wouldn't even have to bother doing a search before somebody would post that chick's name again! [Chavon] has such a following, CO should let her write her own column in the inflight magazine on how she deals with her celebrity.
Try it some time. It certainly isn't easy. No wonder the rest of her face appears frozen. She is employing all her facial muscles to the max to maintain that grin.
What persistence!
Above and beyond the call of duty. Fly right.

Why does the front of the globe depict Africa, when CO doesn't fly anywhere in Africa?

Well, as a verteran of a corporate P.R. department in another industry, I can see where there are cases where a new management team or fad comes in and suddenly an inventory of old stuff becomes surplused. If Gord retires or gets replaced, for example, there's probably a couple of pallets worth of "Worst to First" books they'll cut loose. Or maybe they'll change the name of the employee recognition program, or get a new ad slogan, or rewrite the mission statement. Any of that stuff tends to cause closets to be cleaned out in Houston, and guess where much of it might end up?
