Your ploy of inferring that you had a friend to do this, requesting advice for your friend and then finally asking complete strangers to be your friend is a bit smarmy.

Hey this is flyertalk, aren't we all friends

Seriously you're probably right though. I wasn't sure if that would have gotten the post removed though, some moderators on here are like that, while others are more friendly. Plus I wanted to make sure it was even doable before asking somebody to do it for me. Seems like the NW board is pretty good though.
