What is an FO?
If you prefer "Flys Often" or "Flies Often," that is fine with me. I can live with that. And I'll probably have to live with that literally -- looks like I'm going to be a FO next year. I usually do NYC-Las 10x per year with a TATL or two thrown in. This year maybe I'll be 4x to Las and 1 TATL.
I actually think the best definition for FO is "False Optimism."
