I apologize if anyone went to try to get in as my +1. Because I was delayed (and then couldn't get a cab for the life of me because of the rain), I didn't get to the theatre until 7:20. There were MANY angry people (who, in fairness to EW, apparently didn't read the whole section on their e-mail about you are not guaranteed admission) turned away...so since I wasn't getting in and was still in the mood to see a movie, I saw Precious instead. Disturbing yet moving film.
Did anyone make it into the NYC screening?

A few thoughts about the movie. We very much enjoyed it, even if it was really not about the flying. Actually, the Clooney character IMO seemed the opposite of most FTers in at least one important respect: He flies to avoid human contact; most FTers fly in order to have more contact with other people or, at the very least, to improve the quality of their travel with significant others. The plethora of FT DOs is a testament to this as well.
One thing I was wondering: How many people actualy have 10 million BIS miles on a given carrier? That's a lot of flying.
