You sure use an informal British word, mate, an awful lot for a Texan, when referring to others on FT. Even referred to me as "mate" in a different thread. According to the
Mirriam-Webster dictionary, which definition of mate am I and the rest of us on FlyerTalk?
Main Entry: 3mate
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, probably from Middle Low German māt; akin to Old English gemetta guest at one's table, mete food — more at meat
