While this thing still sounds very cool, I doubt that I could seriously take part (it was more wishful thinking I guess). So please take me off the list.
Go Team FlyerTalk!!

(Like a draft-day scouting report, I guess.)
Anything in particular you'd like to know that can let us help you make the (admittedly tough) decision?
Perhaps it'd be useful to pare the list down to a more manageable group of finalists (say, 6 or 8), and then pepper the lucky few with specific questions...

Catwood: please recheck your mail. you were send an email about your interest along with 49 other people on September 4 at 6:20 pm from me. All received the message and have responded except for one other person who also had an AOL account. I resent to him and it was fine. Ohers with AOL addresses did get theirs. Not sure of the problem but have just resent so you can see the time stamp and verify that your email address was indeed on the orginal list.
As we say, YGM....again. Hope there's time to include you in the final consideration.

We are aiming to announce this years Team FlyerTalk for the GreatEscape2002 on Friday September 13.
Next year with much advance notice and having gone through it - we'll (actually me) will be better prepared to get all this done. It has been extremely difficult in trying to name members to the team as there is an absolute amount of travel experienced people on FlyerTalk. We are trying to blend various types of members and while far from perfect, think we'll field a very strong team.

I've 3/4 of the team picked and the last slot is going down to the wire. I think there are five candidates we're down to and it ain't an easy task. Hopefully over the weekend. As you might imagine as we get down to a final commitment - it gets scary. 23 days of travel outside of your job.

I was amazed and a little disappointed at the lack of donations toward the Great Escape. Only 32 so far! I have gained alot from this site (free stuff!) and thought it was the least I could do , to give a little back. Come on everyone, support Randy and the FT team.
