YYZ MiniDO - Dec 6

Hey FTers,

Apologies for not being on the forums over the past couple of months. I have been busy working towards my Masters degree in the UK.

I will be in the big ketchup (aka Toronto) for the entirety of December 6th (arriving from LHR on 5th leaving for DPS on 7th). Is there any interest in organizing a mini-DO during then (i.e. from 6 PM to 8 PM)?

Let me know either way and potential venues where this could take place.

Safe Travels,

James

I'm open to dropping by for a drink, but will need to leave by 7:30.
I'm fine with Jersey Giant again.

I can't commit yet because of my insane travel schedule, but if I'm in YYZ I'm interested.

I’d be waitlisted.

There are a few possibilities, the most likely two being I’m either down south OPM or on vacation which means can I be arsed to haul myself downtown on some combination or car and public transit. Which is likely weather dependant.

Especially as the work ‘do’ is on the 7th.

Great to see there's been some interest overnight in organizing the YYZ-miniDO. If we can get 1-2 more people I'll call-in the reservation.

N.B. I'm flying in from LHR on the night of the 5th on AC (so I'll get to visit the UA club!). While I don't anticipate getting delayed **knocks on wood**, there is still a possibility given where I'm flying from. It's unlikely to occur given AC runs a ton of flights from LHR to Canada and my Gold status on UA will give me priority rebooking with them and * partners like LH and UA.

Safe Travels,

James

If you can't make it for your own DO, then we'll party on without you because that's what you would want, right?

I wonder how often FT DOs occur where the organizer is a no-show for any reason.

I wonder how many times that occurs due to IRROPs especially on the airline on which the Do forum is based
