The poll was created before any dates came to mind.

goodandclassy is correct.
Having the gathering of FlyerTalk members coinciding with the Delta Air Lines Block Party was suggested for a number of reasons. For one, many Delta Air Lines employees from virtually every department, including many of the executives, attend with their families to have a day of fun and celebration. Politicians and celebrities have been known to attend as well, including the mayor of Atlanta. Also, because there already is a big party planned, the additional cost of including FlyerTalk members would be minimal as compared to creating a gathering from scratch.
However, the date is not yet confirmed at this time.

Can we get an upgrade and standby list for the DO added to delta.com?
We are currently working on that now, but first we need to know the maximum number of FlyerTalk members to which we are limited.
By no means is this meant to be similar to the recent party which Continental Airlines sponsored for FlyerTalk members in Houston. We are looking for this experience to be more intimate. Some great ideas and surprises are in the works, and I hope they come to fruition and reality. Among other things, they depend on the availability of employees to host and direct the various items planned.
