This local ain't got it. BTW, are we abolutely sure it was stolen? Maybe it was picked up by someone from CO and we don't have all the facts.

FWIW

I liked how he used the term "enhanced" sarcastically... that proves that he's picked up on that here. I believe that got the biggest laugh of the Q&A session.

What is "wallet candy"? :confused:

"Wallet candy" is a comp'ed elite card.

It is generally given to CEO's and execs who have corporate agreements with CO. They generally buy FC tickets anyway, but the comp'ed Plat card is candy in their wallet.

Hmmm... The carpet really nice at the enterence to my bedroom.. LOL j/k

I wouldn't mind one there though... but I'd like the "Elite Access / General Boarding" Sign for my bedroom enterence better!

Perhaps CO should sell them, and the carpets, too. @:-)

In the meantime, are we any closer to the resolution of this issue that affects the reputation of FT as a whole and the likelihood of a follow-on meeting in a couple of years?

Has anyone contacted CO about this matter? I know it would be embarrassing to ask, but let's not get in a tizzy if the carpet were actually removed properly by CO itself.

I agree, this could become a SERIOUS problem. They could take away our "unlimited complimentary upgrades" or even worse...reward ticket availability. And then what would happen is our OnePass miles would become worthless. What a nightmare!

Hey wait a second...they already did that.

Nevermind.

I really hope no attendee stole the carpet... would really be sleazy and low class.

classy Apr 6, 2005 1:40 am

Really?
 
Do you think that would stop some?

Unfortunately, I think that's what happened. Several people left in the middle of Larry's presentation and as far as I can recall did NOT come back. The doors were closed at the time and when they reopened the carpet was gone.

It is really sad that a person/s felt the need to take the blue carpet. Yes, it would be kind of cool to have one in your home but, CO was nice enough to bring a few to the meetings and it was really tacky to simply take it home.
