How about just a contest where all regular FT participants on the AC board win?

Otherwise, I'm screwed.

Consolation I guess is that I didn't book anything specifically for this like most of the winners, I just made sure the extra segments I added to my trips were in cities to get badges, and since I'm a segment SE, I take connecting flights anyway.
Still sucks knowing that I could have booked a couple segment run itins, got 8-10 more badges getting me those 500K miles with less than $1000 investment.

Oh well...
Too bad you didn't make #20.

I would have bought you a shirt that said "Wat u no about ROI?"

Just flew my last segment for EYWv4. It's like around 21:40ish PDT.

Posted my last post into the log. Totally have lots of stories missing from there, like wanting to start a fight on the jetbridge, or all the gas I passed during flight...

Anyhow, back to regular programming now. Back to Delta confirmed unlimited upgrades to San Jose tomorrow.

I'm hanging by a thread after today's refresh. I'm in 19th place, with a just a couple more flights that have yet to post! I'm just hoping those guys in 20-25th didn't do a lot of flying over this last weekend

I'm not going to be in the top 2

I'm still missing 2500 wings though.

We should have an EYW Do. Only EYW participants (>50k wings) may attend

Who printed the EYW luggage tag. We should get the Top 20 Trophy badge printed on a luggage tag?

Wel, that would be me. But after a delayed flight and a changed routing on my last business trip, it looks like I will by coming in at 49,900 wings, so the Cow won't be inviting me to his do

I could potentially be convinced to print some of they are wanted.

19th position is the second best result. Of course, 21st is the worst. Aim between those two numbers and be crowned grand champion.

Then blog about your ridiculously high ROI and encourage a whole new generation of wing runners to fly in circles over the prairies in EYW 5.

Cow is definitely back on the menu if I land in 21st position .

Btw, thanks for printing those! I grabbed bag tag from the YWG concierge and have had it on my backpack for all my flights. I got one comment so far from a gate agent

Thank you for the tag!!! Mr. C I believe is who the concierge had said dropped them off, I was the first to grab one he had said and word sure travels fast! (:

Thanks again and yes would love a couple trophies badge luggage tags. EYW v3 and v4.

That would imply I think the Altitude Community is worth anything, and therefore participated in it, and should be expecting badges.

I don't, I didn't, and I'm not.

Okay, 49.9k wings.

We can set the threshold wherever we need it, but the point is that it would be an EYW Do

I had some great beef last night in CPH!

I picked mine up in YEG. When DrunkCargo and I arrived in YWG, John the concierge was waiting for us at the gate with tags for us. Such service

AC might be wise to do something... perhaps with all that ROI they plucked off the contest? =)
