THANK YOU to Cigarman, CO Insider, and all the Continental folks who made this happen. Dinner was great fun! We arrived at 7pm and finally left when the restaurant was closing somewhere around midnight. What a great time was had by all! ^ ^ ^

Thanks to Cigarman, COInsider, all of the CO employees that came along, and everyone who attended for a great evening. ^

I am humbled at the applause given to me for being the runner-up....but it's like Coach Parseghian told me......second place is the first place loser.

I had a great time, (as always) and I cannot believe that we stayed there until Midnight!

Thanks again and safe travels to everyone! :-:

Yesterday morning as I flew over DFW on my way from MCI-SAT, made me think of everyone. Glad you all had a great time.

Scott ,Dean,J.edward ,CO folks,and all the FT folks who attended. Thanks for a fabulous night, good conversation ,great questions and a whole lot of fun.
I initialy regretted having a 5AM wakeup for a 625 boarding back to Houston. It turned out good ,as I think the TSA at the Grand Hyatt terminal were no where up to speed on the new rules and I was able to brreze through to my upgraded seat to Houston.
Im back in Houston and am getting ready to pull down a big ol stoogy gifted to me by Cigarman.

Thanks cigarman for coming up with the idea (it was close, but you won the bet). Thanks Weatherboy for rolling with our whirlwind itinerary. Thanks J.Edward for the impeccable logistics. And thanks to all of you who made it in for this great night.

Thanks again to Cigarman, Co Insider, J.Edward, the folks from CO and Flyertalk for a great evening. Time flew by, and we had a lot of laughs. I'm flying to Singapore when everything calms down so I can see Cigar's picture on the wall at Morton's!

The quality of the dining was only exceeded by that of the company...

Yes, attendees, that means YOU!

Thanks to Cigarman (for his infallible, reliable, incendiary behaviour), CO Insider (for his sincere advocacy), J.Edward (for his sublime organization of the event and ssssmmmmoooottthhhh Team Honda transportation), and LAST BUT NOT LEAST, to the fabulous Mrs. Xyzzy (for her offsite support, commentaries, information, and overall general fabulousness). Without her we wouldn't have been graced with the company of xyzzy, who has been sprinkled with her lovely fairy dust and therefore charms all who come before him...

Thank you Cigarman/CO Insider and J.Edward for organizing, and hosting this special event and thank you CO employees for taking time out of your busy lives to spend a little time with us, I for one greatly appreciated it.

This was my first time at a Morton’s steakhouse and I really enjoyed the meal. I have always been a Ruth’sChris fan for chain steakhouses (as I can redeem Amtrak Guest Rewards points for $100 gift cards

) but, I am considering changing my allegiance.

Flying home, I began to realize what makes CO different from other airlines and it is events like this that keep me loyal to CO.

Thanks to Scott and the rest of the CO team for a great visit with lots of insight and dialogue...

Thanks to Cigarman and J Edward for a flawless tactical execution of another great event...

And thanks to an active CO FlyerTalk community for awesome conversation...

It looks like the next mini-do may be in Micronesia --should be interesting
