That's us!
The WSJ's recent Internet supplement had an article on the best way to reduce airport waiting time. A sidebar introduced FT as:
"Rabid frequent fliers populate this site, where bonus miles, Web pricing glitches, customer-service fiascoes and bargain fares inspire thousands of postings each month."
Well, if the shoe fits.....
Jim (wipes froth from mouth, prepares to board plane; how on earth will I get past security this way?)

She also wrote another one on November 14 that referred to a "seasoned traveler" software consultant who commutes between Newark and Seattle.

Let's see, is that the article that begins:
Chexfan is a seasoned traveler, but he no longer knows what to expect when he gets to the airport.
A software consultant from Seattle, Mr. chexfan has logged 145,000 miles this year, largely due to weekly commutes to Newark, N.J. On a typical day prior to Sept. 11, the elite-level frequent flier on United Airlines would check in at the airport club, breeze through security and hop onto the plane.
But that was then.
(It's surprising how often I recognize someone's name in the WSJ, now that I read FT!)
