Umm....

My work title, my first name, my education.

Sometime down the road I hope my FT handle will be: MrRobRetiredWellOff.

r(robin)woman(I am a girl!) became a nickname from one of my close friends in college...it stuck after graduation and I've since used it as a username.

How did you choose your FT handle?

Always wondered regarding the names of some FT posters.

For me, it was bacx - two airlines I mostly fly with, short and easy to login into the forum.

How about the others? How did you choose your handle?

First name + first letter of last name. Got stuck with it on AOL a quarter-century ago and stayed with it.

I consider this information confidential, so I decline to answer the OP's question.

Off a t-shirt in the video game Bully. As a mathematician I pretty much loved making my character wear it.

A place I fly to a lot. Maluku, a province in eastern Indonesia. Nobody knows where that is. Maybe I should have picked Ambon_Flyer instead. 5 people know where that is.

Or maybe you're a Dorothy Parker fan.

When I think of Indonesia I think of Sumatra, Batam, DPS, and JKT.
(I knew the first from seeing coffee sources. I know the second from having ferry service from SIN.)

From the very first 'Do,' the FlyerTalk Party in Paradise (PiP) in 1999.

I had a wardrobe malfunction during the tennis tournament...



(that's a coconut bikini now down toward my privates...)

Spur of the moment. I'd been lurking for awhile, and wanted to ask a question.
