Event: SAP is trying to organize a Do with some AC corporate employees. Trying is the operative word. At this point, I feel that it's highly likely that an Do will occur, so this thread has been started to look at numbers and availability. Please also post what date-ish works for you. It would appear that so far, late March/April is preferable by members. I'll track dates manually based on posts to keep the Wiki optimized/clean.
[Content of Do]: Meet and Greet with employees. Details are a work in progress.
Basic Rule: Be respectful at all times. Follow FT type rules. If you have an issue with a comment, criticize the comment, not the person.
Note: If it really comes down to it, being that this is a private function hosted by SAP, SAP will ask that rule-breaking person to leave. SAP really doesn't want to do this but if the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, the few will be removed
(based on my gut instinct, I don't think this will be an issue)
Please keep thread banter to a minimum, thank you. (I realize Do threads usually have a lot of banter, but a lot of people are interested. So to minimize wasted time for all...)
Instructions: People interested to meet a few members of AC's corporate staffers, please add your name below and update the "Total Current Count". No +1's at this point unless they are FTers please due to demand.
People interested: (Total Current Count: 79)

Just close the YYZ domestic MLL for a few hours and do it in there. They already have "appetizers", BEvERages, and plenty of space.

Thanks for your suggestions and offer to volunteer!
I guess I now have to start a business? I'm definitely receiving help. If I tip my hand, that may put me in a tough spot but the #'s and the venue do not appear to me to be an issue at this point.
My suggestion would be, at this point based on the information I have, if people want to sign up, sign up. Leave the rest up to the planning team -credit to the FTers helping me out will take place when appropriate.

If you have it all under control, then why did you ask

I was referring to the Do in the West that SF was talking about! That and information changes quickly around here. Progress is being made quickly.
Yes, because I have the ability to ask a large corporation to close down the MLL, a place where revenue passengers go to.............
[that will never happen]

Most of the "fart lickers" in the MLL are on passes and using credit cards anyway, right?

Not to worry. I am well aware that many people are flying in for this Mini Do and will do my part in making sure the event is memorable. This is top of mind. Full stop.

Large YYZ DO put on by AC
The DO (a decade ago) which was put on by AC included visits to the (then) new SOC, flights on the simulator , taste testings at a flight kitchen, and a simulated evacuation including slides etc. and a reception at Aeroplan. All in all a interesting/fun time. Ben Smith kindly offered a very discounted J ticket from Japan which was most appreciated at that time.^ I will sit this one out as I no longer have the chance to use AC where my business takes me. Cheers !

That was also a different time.
I see we have now exceeded 50 people interested. Cool.
News alert: Next update will be sometime next week (since it's Saturday at time of this posting.) Hopefully a time and further details can be shared shortly.
PS I appreciate the minimal Do thread banter as there is a lot of interest in this Do. (especially based on thread view count in 24 hours).

Can we PLEASE keep the Do banter to a minimum. There's a LOT of people interested in joining and I'd like to respect their time as participants are on edge wrt what is happening and when. Thank you!
E.g. Please help me out here! I'm happy to deal with questions about the Do but Do threads have been known to involve a lot of banter, which is fine, but I don't want to annoy >50+ people checking up on what's new. If you want to reminisce, please post here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...-2016-a-3.html
Thank you. (and sorry). Comments/suggestions about this Do are more than welcome but let's try to stick to the topic at hand. Thanks, punch me at the Do for being a meanie!
