I'm in for dinner Friday night & the Saturday flight on UA 760. Some Y seats just opened up, with 4 at $297, so I grabbed one. Maybe some upgrades cleared?
Is there a firm plan for Saturday evening yet? I have not picked a place to stay yet, and would be up for splitting a room if anyone is interested in saving a nickle. Plan to depart to points unknown Sunday about noon from either ORD or MKE.
I stay in San Bruno, near SFO, and would be happy to provide rides Friday night and possibly Saturday a.m. to SFO. PM me if interested.

Can't make it due to costs, but wouldn't it be hilarious if they were oversold and needed volunteers? Would be jump at the opportunity like they normally would or pass it up so that they can fly with Captain Denny?

In final preparations for the event (so I can reflect this on the front page of the thread), I'd appreciate if folks could leave a quick comment if:
a) they're staying at the Hyatt Regency on Friday night (yes/no)
b) are Hyatt Diamond and able to guest someone into the Regency Club (yes/no)
c) are Red Carpet Club members or able to guest people into the RCC by other means (RCC member/foreign Star Gold)
I figure we can all head over to the SFO RCC at around 10-11AM and have a pre-party. Hopefully we'll also be able to guest anyone that wants access into the Regency Club at the Hyatt for the spread on Friday night and/or breakfast on Saturday.
Happy to hear some more people are able to join us!^ Should be a great time.
Hey, I've volunteered to be bumped off of one of Captain Denny's flights before, so it wouldn't be a first. That being said, unfortunately iluv2bump is joining us, so there goes my chance.

(a) No
(b) No
(c) Maybe - I just flew my last flight to make A3 *G today, so status should show on bp, but it will depend on whether UA will let me in without a *G card.

Yes
Yes- although they have signage prohibiting this, I doubt enforcement
Yes
What about seats on the plane? Are people denying upgrades or trying to sit together?
Are there any organized activities at SFO pre flight besides RCC party?
