UA: FT1- (flyertalk1-)
Delta: 11FT1 (11flytertalk1)

I have sites that require other chars and some that do not allow which is quite annoying. I have also used a number base so I could just use the # sign instead of the real number.
That's fine for casual sites, but for banking, credit card, and other websites I prefer a truly random, strong password and that's why I use keepass.

To not use something like keepass these days is irresponsible, if you're dealing with very sensitive information online.
