I admit it. I had never even heard of Flyer Talk until July.

I was sitting in my BAG's (Beautiful American Girlfriend) home in Savannah getting increasingly PO'ed at some problems I was having with Delta.

(My mood was not at all enhanced by some of the e-mails I was getting from my UIG (Used Italian Girlfriend) about my visit to the BAG, but that is a different story.)

I did a Google search on Delta and came up with SaveSkyMiles. This, in turn, linked to Flyer Talk. My first post was a long diatribe about Delta's stupidity in overseas marketing.

Much has happened since then. My BAG deserted the field, to the great delight of the UIG. Delta has corrected some (but not all) of the policies I wrote about. I have made good friends on the Delta Board. I had my first FT meet (in Tel Aviv last week) and am involved in planning a very large one in FLL this May.

And, of course, I have been awarded the OBE.
