Looking for Spiff from Louisville

I saw your shoutout in today's Slate. Congrats. Unless my guess is off, you were an RA at GSA '96. I was a student back then. Message me your email addy if you could. It'd be fun to catch up.

Have you tried a private message (PM) to him, using his screen name. Click on MY FLYERTALK and you'll find the option there, sort of like the FT version of e-mail.

...Except that he was either misquoted (my guess) or horribly misinformed.

He was quoted complaining about USAirways but the description was of the Southwest flying "experience."
Spiff, who shudders exaggeratedly at the mere mention of USAir, lists the reasons he despises the company. He so hates it that even though Louisville, Ky., where he lives, is a USAir hub, he won't fly them: "No first class; no pre-assigned seatsit's a cattle call, which means no carefully selected exit row in coachno frequent flyer program; no affiliations with other airlines; and any credit you do getthey call it 'credit,' not mileshas to be used within 12 months."
I PM'd the author of the article (she has a FT handle now) to say that there had to be an error somewhere...

This is more a personal note about a FlyerTalker and really shouldn't be posted in a public forum. However, I don't want to delete it. I am moving it to Community

Thanks, everyone. I have replied to the OP via PM.

And there should be a correction coming soon to the slate.com article.
