THE.EPIC.DO
 
Fall 2017

(to be announced)

canadiancow May 16, 2017 11:08 pm

I'm in.

But wow what a crappy title. No date? Not even a year? Or city (or cities)?

Just wait until [MENTION=863]Dorian[/MENTION] sees this thread.

Believe it or not (and yes this is true) I am not allowed to speak of such things.

What? No wiki? :D:D

:eek:

An "epic" do, advertised by Dorian, but he's low enough down the food chain that he can't even speak of it?

I'm definitely in :p

That's the plan. We'd like suggestions from FTers.

There was a year, to be fair.

And in certain areas of the county (and yes it could be out of country I guess) fall, lik snoring, doesn't last long.

If it's in YYZ count me in.

Well, I've done:
ARN
ATH
CLE
EWR
JMK
LAX
LHR
PHX
SFO
YUL
YVR
YYC
YYJ
YYT
YYZ
ZRH

So... maybe somewhere new? :p

YXU? We can all guarantee confirm on some dasher and fly in together.

(Bold and in color. )

We know that big cities can allow for more attendance sometimes, as we've seen with YVR or YYZ, YYC and YUL.

But some of you made it out to YYT for a Do.

Most of us flew in for the YYJ Do recently. You all know that was awesome.

THAT is why we have not set a location.

Group Effort here! :D

Some location suggestions with October-November timing:

PHX
LAS

And examples for those that want to keep this "local" as in The Great White North...

YQB
YXY

SKYEG May 16, 2017 11:54 pm

I'm in if 24left promises to do a shot of tequila at the DO :D

With you...ABSOLUTELY :D

moorw003 May 17, 2017 12:21 am

I'm potentially interested if the location is east of the 401.

Umm, FYI, the 401 runs East-West. So a location can be north or south
it. :)

I'd prefer north.

moorw003 May 17, 2017 3:34 am

I've used the 401 in a clumsy/unusual way. But it can be East, if you say east of the Ontario/Quebec border :p

expert7700 May 17, 2017 8:48 am

How about IPC?

It's all about the journey, right? Would undoubtedly go down as the most remote FT DO. There was a VIP airport lounge building when we were there...

jc94 May 17, 2017 9:36 am

While IPC is on my list for a near future visit it's a bit of a expensive and long trek for a do!

expert7700 May 17, 2017 9:59 am

If it's ever in LAS, we can help out a bit with planning.

Though to keep it fun we would need to position ourselves somewhere..anywhere 2-3 stops away so that we can travel "to" the DO.

Maybe I'll route through LAS this time :)

Double Centurion!

marke190 May 17, 2017 10:35 am

If the timing works, this may be a good opportunity for my first Do!:D

Yeah, I feel kind cheated that I didn't make the YYJ Do (which have been my first) because of tour guide obligations. On the plus side, it was probably the shortest flight I could actually take out of YVR, so anything epic would be more in keeping with FT travel fun and games.

RCyyz May 17, 2017 12:38 pm

Venue - I vote for YYC and we turn this into the WS Do. Or we could try YUL and turn this into the AC Do.

I suspect WS might be more interested in hosting us, especially if we offer them the opportunity to get live feedback from a group of die-hard FFs.

If we're trying for an international Do, then we can go anywhere that doesn't require a visa since visas are a pain. A mistake fare to get there would be very useful too of course. :p

Yeah, I'm harshed I couldn't make the YYJ Do, it sounded awesome and would have been super convenient location-wise. Willing to burn some soon to be useless AE miles for this EPIC Do though!

I think AC should host us for this in YUL. Who has the best relationship with HQ and can propose this?

Won't happen.

Plumber May 17, 2017 2:27 pm

Why? Because of the treatment here of AC reps?

moorw003 May 17, 2017 4:56 pm

Just to add suggestions for a potential do. YQB was mentioned above, that'd be nice.

Also has there ever been a YYG do? That'd be a pretty awesome summer one if people fancy the Maritimes! Epic do to celebrate Canada 150 in the birthplace of confederation?

smallmj May 17, 2017 5:39 pm

Please come to the Maritimes, I'd like to meet you folks, never been to a do. YHZ, YQM, YYG, YFC, and YSJ are all within a 3 hour drive of my place.

24left May 17, 2017 5:50 pm

*BUMP*

See additional info in Wiki. Thanks.

doubleflier May 17, 2017 5:54 pm

How about YLW or YYF for fall wine fest?

Jumper Jack May 17, 2017 6:20 pm

Suggest Whistler or Okanagan

While I fully support a Maritime event: driving to a do? :D

jasdou May 17, 2017 6:38 pm

I would be happy to help if YQB is picked!

All the non-YHZ locations in the Maritimes ex-YHZ are served by EVAS Beechcraft. Problem solved :D
