Bumping my own thread:
I'm sitting in the hall today minding my own business and my Flyertalker Professor came up to me. I'm thinking "uh oh what am I in trouble for now?"
Instead he says: I can ask you this, is the Mileage Run dead?
My kind of pre-class talk!

I picked up United Captain Denny Flanagan for this event at his hotel in SF this past Sunday and two F/t'ers in the lobby spotted his F/t polo shirt (they were in town for the a Oracle event and already had dinner plans or we would have had two more for dinner)

I certainly did. He wanted to talk Delta more though as he's also got the miles for Delta Gold but is short $1,000 on spend. I said if he really wanted it, fly to Europe in December for a grand. I'd take a weekend in Europe and the biggest bump in status you can get for a thousand dollars.

So the most important question, who has the higher status on the plane, at the hotel?

He's also a damn decent professor and I don't just say that in case he's reading, guy's got a PhD from Penn and he's at my little unknown HBCU. Not sure how that happened but I'm glad it did ^

It just happens there was a concentration of them somewhere else 
Fun though to have someone spot you like that ^

Last Wednesday I was flying out of PHX, and spotted a guy with a FT bag tag on the moving walkway just ahead of me. I introduced myself, and he seemed rather surprised.
Turns out he's mostly a DL flyer and I think Hyatt for hotels, so we've never bumped into each other on FT.
He was trying to get to CVG, and I told him how I've flown PHX-CVG-AVP, but it was some time ago. Unfortunately, there are no longer nonstops PHX-CVG
