Important developments from my dinner with CEO please read VERY IMPORTANT
I just finished my regular dinner with Larry Kellner, and I can inform all CO flyerTalkers I think I have negotiated something very nifty for us Flyertalkers. I can't disclose it yet as the details have not been worked out with the dreaded legal etc. However, you all could help me to help you. Please answer two questions and I'll let you know the good news soon.
1) Would you be willing to fly into Houston for a Flyertalk get together if you got to tour CO and personally meet with the CEO?
2) Are you going to buy a CO ticket in the next 60 days to anywhere?
That would help me. Hopefully both answer will be a large number. Please be honest as I don't want to be embarssed if I negotiate something then 6 people buy a ticket. Thanks, Cigarman

1) Yes, if workable with my schedule.
2) Yes. (No firm plans on anything right now, but I don't think I've gone more than 60 days in the past 15 years without buying a ticket t0somewhere on Continental.)
A tour would be great--just give us plenty of advance notice to work it into our schedules.

Are you sure they want people from Houston? 
Maybe they only want people to fly in?
1) I have some connections through Houston so if the date works out.....
2) probably no, but I will buy in March. I just bought 4 international tix AMS-LAS friday does that count?

1. Probably not unless schedule allowed but first quarter is very busy for me.
2. In the next 60 days, I'll guess and say I'll be buying 4-6 tickets on CO.
