The F-cabin flight attendant on my UA SFO-LAX flight yesterday morning noticed my tag and started chuckling - when I asked him how he knew what it was, he said "Everyone knows about FT." 
He then proceeded to give me *excellent* and very personal service on the short flight. Very GTEMworthy ^

The only FT’er I've met via the legendary yellow FT tag is Dianne47.
She and her husband were waiting at the Lahaina, Maui dock for the ferry to Lanai.
We ran across them several more times that weekend and I hope we see them at a future DO. Or maybe on the docks in Maui again.

I just placed an order for my tag a minute ago...
With trips planned for October to Vegas and Chicago, and a possible Portland, Oregon adventure before that I'm bound to bump into someone.

Bumped in to iluv2fly at ORD yesterday.
Can you call it a luggage tag sightings if you actually recognize the Flyertalker first?
Also, the UA people know him too; or so I was told.

I met UAX@SFO last week in SFO (of course) - he spotted my tag. Didn't really get a chance to chat since he was busy working a gate.

Encounter #3 for me! * I was flying IAD-ORD on Monday and noticed the yellow FT tag of travelingman79 while we sat in luxurious comfort on the Dulles Mobile Lounge. I introduced myself, found out we were on the same flight and seated across the aisle from each other as well!
* I have also met jetsetter and exerda in airports
