Set up the flight as a Foursquare location and all FTers "check in"

Or - walk down the aisle muttering "look at all the sheeple" or "I say shenanigans!"

Interesting. So much for consistency...

I'm afraid I do the latter every time I board a plane in Omaha... JK ;) Well, sort of...

LaGuardia too...I find it interesting the Silvers/ Alaskan MVPGs / SkyTeam Elites have bigger bolding than the rest =)

When I board a flight I will do the secret FT handshake with everyone to find out =)

I am thinking the "S" word should be the new secret password for the DL FT'er Club...

^^

But in a serious manner, that is why we have a thing such as the Flight Connect.

I thought there was a secret handshake and decoder ring?

Walk up to the priority boarding line chanting "Gate Lice, Gate Lice"... Most FT's do it under their breath anyway...might as well make it audible so other FT's can recognize them...:D

I think if I did that it might cause a problem!

Just grab a couple of beers and head for the emergency exit ;)

Great timing for this thread, as I had a 3 hour flight today and didn't realize I was sitting next to a FT. After landing in STL and waiting for a shuttle bus to my hotel, my former seat mate now shuttle bus companion said that he overheard I was living in DTW and if I was taking advantage of the STL promotion. I said I was, and he noted he was as well. It sparked a nice 20 minute conversation while waiting for the bus and driving to the hotel. Neither of us have families that understand the whole thing and why we were in STL. That's the first time this has happened to me, but perhaps on future flights or ground transportations in STL, I should look for other potential flyer talk members!

DTW SkyPriority isn't staffed... at least the bottom run isn't... They really should stick the TSA out there and let them regulate, but I am sure that "isn't their job"... It's a free for all, so I just tell everyone to follow me or use this line since no one seems to care. I figure the more people that abuse it, the sooner they will start enforcing it.

On the flip side, why not a FT.... hat? ^^^@:-) Just yellow letters... DYKWIA with FTer on the back..

I kind of like the idea of a hat with the logo in front and "DYKWIA" stitched on the rear.^

I was once hailed "Hey Flyertalker" while exiting an MSP>ANC flight by the woman in 3B, one row ahead of me, when she saw the FT tag on my roll-aboard. Turns out she was a lurker on here, and another woman from row 2 was yet another, who overheard us talking about FT and introduced herself. Only time I've ever run into other FT'ers, and there were 3 in the same FC cabin, in three consecutive rows on the left side. Wonder what the odds are of that ?

Only FT-ers take pictures of gate lice. Admit it, you know you've done it...
