Where: On your computing device. Anything with a Zoom client. https://zoom.us/download - You probably want "Zoom Client for Meetings" or "Zoom Mobile Apps".

When: Saturday April 13 2024 @ 1700 PDT / 2000 EDT / 2130 NDT - We will likely go quite late, typically ending after 0100 PDT.

The link will be the same every week. We don't need a list, many people will be here. Just add your name if you want the link PM'd to you around 1630 PDT before the do.

Suggestion: Please include your forum handle (and optionally your name) when logging onto Zoom.

Please send me the same link as last week:

Yhztraveller we need to start leaving the Do earlier in the evening and just getting up early for the last two hours of it!

Ummmm, no, 2 hours was enough for me.

I would really rather sleep in on Sunday mornings....

Maybe you could organize the Sunday morning virtual "after-call" with a panel of FT'rs discussing the highlights of the previous nights Do. I bet @24left would watch that!

I strongly believe that anyone who was 4.5 hours ahead would have been able to attend the end.
I was contemplating on joining at 07:00 eastern time.....

Great turnout, I think yesterday's Virtual DO was the most attended one yet, with new participants.

​​​​​Although he may have made some notes for future usage against all of us, it was great to meet the real tcook052

And thanks for the in-flight video!

Even if your fashion accessories reminded me of Back to the Future.

Nope, just a few names from our virtual visit.

It was good to see and meet more AC forum members and may join future online Do's.

Me too.......and it reminded me of the old FT chat room late at night (I can't remember the day of the week) from years ago. Do I remember right that you sometimes participated?

People on the west coast seem to have an unfair advantage as time goes on.

Last weeks impressive on-location reporting by @expert7700 got me thinking about something.

Given all of shots folks have posted of empty airports, I think we need to add a new element to the virtual do - a virtual traveler:


The newest FT member?


Every week we could ship it to one of our home airports and cruise around the terminal in real-time spreading the joy wherever 'we' go. Maybe even add a Zone 1 shirt.

Of course, there's minor issues like coughing up the $2K+ to buy the thing, shipping it between cities, not getting the bot tased by bored security staff and other details. But it would be so cool.

Why are you still posting when you left the Do saying you were going to bed?

Sorry I'm missing tonight's Do, broke my laptop last week and I honestly don't have the energy to hold my phone and do a zoom Do. I'll catch everyone next week after a new laptop purchase.
