Is it just me, or does anyone else miss FTers who used to post here?

I realize some were banned or suspended or kicked out of the "Continuum", but recent posts by others have made me realize what great fund can be had with mental chess, in this case debating the likes of Air Canada, Aeroplan, rouge and all of our related relationships.

So to those of you who are actively here reading or posting, this is just my way of asking where are
flyquiet, TemboOne, diabeetus, among others

(and while i might be risking life and limb, I will add that nothing makes my morning coffee like a post from the likes of Allvest or the long lost tyberius.)

thanks for listening....carry on....

Hi all,

Without a bit of sarcasm, it brought a a tear to my eye that I was specifically mentioned in 24left's now locked thread about missing AC FTers. :)

Mrs Diabeetus went into preterm labor early March, and our daughter was born super premature. 25-weeker preemie, under 2lbs in weight. We've been spending our time pretty much living in the NICU.

We've been very fortunate, however, in that our little girl hasn't had any of the major complications that micro preemies get (i.e. big brain bleeds, severe infections, retinopathy, etc.). We're praying that she'll be one of the lucky ones that gets away without developmental delay or cerebral palsy.

All flights and trips cancelled for the foreseeable future. We had some cheap P-fare tickets to Tucson - the departure date was 3 days after my daughter was born. It was supposed to be our last trip while still within the "safe" flying window while pregnant. If my wife had gone into labor 25-weeks pregnant mid-flight...

I hopped on FT a couple times without posting. Missing out on the deals and talking about recent trips made me feel a bit sad, as I really enjoy travelling. I miss being pampered those times up in J. I miss the little perks that status brought. But I would trade a lifetime of all those things in exchange for guaranteed good health for our child.

I ended my flying year at 21,5084 AQM and 12 AQS, with the date of my last flight as Mar 1, 2015.

I wasn't planning on requalifying for SE this year, but there's a good chance I'll have no status for 2016. In the grand scheme of things, there's ways around it. Latitude flight passes. Z/P fare sales. And in the end, it's not that important.

I'll still be around on FT, but will likely be quieter for the next few months. :)

Parnel and Mtacchi are both missed on this board as are many others from the "glory days" of the early to mid-2000's. Mexican Hat Dance anyone?

With the new AP and AC, it's just not as big of a deal any more. Meh.

Well, see, you blew into town back on a cold winter day, launched a brilliant thread that led to much hilarity and then you abandoned us.

I'm going to answer the rhetorical question with a resounding NO !

In reality, it is funny when people mention posters who are relative newbies who have come and gone...

Time does fly !

In the time I've been on this board, "beachdigit" has grown up, gone to University and now has a job (I think)... ;)
