Surprisingly to me, 2-time former presidential candidate and CEO of Forbes Inc, Steve Forbes in seat 9H on Flt. 21 (JFK-LAX) 4/26.

Also, Jimmy Fallon in the JFK AC the morning of 4/25.

Everyone has to pay to play.

A friend from AA once told me how many big named celebrities would buy a Y fare ticket and expect to be upgraded to F just because of who they were. This was especially prevalent on TATL flights.

In their current financials, airlines frown upon upgrading a $500 fair to a $5000+ fair no matter who you are.

AMR CEO Gerard Arpey is chatting with someone just a couple chairs away in the AA FC Lounge in LAX as I type this. I should probably move away as I feel bad half-listening in on their conversation...

HBO's Cathouse Guy

I ran into the guy from HBO's cathouse in line to board an AA flight in DFW last month. He was surrounded by yes men in suits - quite the entourage. And he had a giant andrew dice clay style leather jacket on.

I want her skin

Queen Latifah (aka Dana Owens) at the JFK Admiral's Club about 4.30 this afternoon. I gave her a little nod and a "Hi" as I exited and she entered and got a genuine-sounding "Thank you" in return.

She has gorgeous skin and the most radiant smile.
