Put me down for Hola. I am staying at the The Westin San Francisco Airport on Saturday and the Sheraton Gateway San Francisco Airport Hotel on Sunday.

Thumbs up Seeking plane pullers!

Hey Folks,

I've received official word that we'll have the opportunity to form a FlyerTalk plane pulling team, where we'll be "competing" against other employee groups (wanna show those pilots what you think about Channel 9?). We're looking for 20 volunteers to participate and represent FlyerTalk. If you're interested be sure to wear sturdy shoes, and you'll have to sign a waiver form of some sort to to rid UA of any liability.

If you're interested please PM me and I'll add you to the team!

Thanks!

I suggest that those who are signed up for the plane pull bring some gloves (leather preferred) to help get a better grip on the rope and protect your hands.

Welcome to FlyerTalk ihategatelice ^ ^

I am quite confident that you will never feel compelled to post in this thread (at least in the affirmative):
In retrospect, is your FT name a mistake?

Total guess here, but I'd bet somewhere around the middle of the day. Let me find out for sure though.

Talking

Wow Lucky, what an event but FT rep will be on the line; can you fill the FT team with some Olympic weightlifter/ringers? Maybe Tom911 could assist due to his summer Olympic connections? Maybe there are some pro linebackers on FT who will sign up?

For those of us not able to pull a plane, shall we start assembling the FT Rally Rousers to cheer our team on?

I'm good for Hola! And planning to drive up from the South Bay, but wondering if I can carpool with someone who lives a little closer to SFO itself...
