I beat you all. I took a trip. I got home yesterday. I earned miles. They will post soon. Then I will be more important than you all. This will last for days. Then we will be equal.

You should come to the PDX Board Room tomorrow. Then we can bow down to you. Or you should come to the SEA Board Room the day after tomorrow. Then we can also bow down to you. Or you should come to the SEA or PDX Board Rooms the day after that. Then we can sit next to each other as equals. We can have other Board Room members bow down to us.

Might want to PM us a remind that morning. Neither of us is really ever sure what exactly our next flight is. We are blindly following our boarding passes and wandering through airports in a daze...

Five Guys in Arlington, VA a couple hours ago was delicious! Last splurge of the year...

That we know of. Maybe more?

BTW, I think the guy in 2C was behind us yesterday on AS6 in 11C, but I'm not sure. Should I ask?

YES, you should ask. He might be a FT'er or needs to become one.

I did. He looked at me with a "you're crazy" look and said no.

So, either he was the other guy's twin brother or he was a FAM and was trying to conceal his identity. (He did look a touch FAM-ish--short-ish hair and neatly dressed...)

I've had the same reaction before. But, I have also found people who were aware of FT but were mostly lurkers.I've actually convinced a couple of the to sign up and get involved.
