You may run them out of alcoholic beverages. :D:D:D

sbm12's concern is rum, mine is vodka. Hopefully there's more than three of those...just as much as Jimmy likes his new shoes, Mike could always go for a noontime screwdriver when there's no responsibilities afoot.

I am good for at least 3 vodka cranberry.

Don't drink too much. You have the afternoon at the PC, then you will likely get two drink coupons from CO for the Friday evening event at the Marriott.

Actually I would normally drink the vodka, too. I only lit in to the rum on Saturday because I was headed to the Caribbean and it seemed appropriate. After my third the FA said she had to go to the back to get more, which is how we got to talking about how many are on the plane. I mentioned that they usually don't run out of vodka on me and she pulled out the drawer to show me that there were many more vodkas in the cart (maybe 6) than there were rums. I may start with rum just to clean out the plane so I can claim a small victory on that front. ;)

I knew you were a vodka guy (and I think we share a love of Ketel One?) but didn't know if you were switching recently just for fun or something.

We're scheduled to land about 10 min before the party flight. If I had a video camera I'd record the debarkation. ;)

I just hope nobody debarks right there on the Elite carpet...

I suddenly see a certain advantage to my seat. :p :cool:

Many non-DSLR cameras take video.

Hmmm, I wonder if we can get a group photo on the plane?

And at least one of the newer DSLRs takes video. We should try for a photo with the crew, assuming they don't want to kill us by the end of the flight. Actually, maybe that would make for a better picture. ;)

I would love to see the quality of the video on that Nikon with a Nikon lense instead of the usual point and shoot lense. I like the photo with the crew idea.

^jer-z-girl and i cleared. T-1 on the outbound and T-5 on the return.
9/9 so far this year.:)

I would love to film the bunch deplaning the party flight. Maybe I should go on an earlier flight to capture the moment.

Oh... That's right, no free same day stand-by :rolleyes:

If you see someone with a yellow Flyertalk tag and a little camera as you debark (or de-whatever) on the blue carpet, it's proably me. It depends on which gates each of the flights arrives at.

Flyer_70 Feb 4, 2009 3:42 pm

Woot. Aus-Iah - cleared at 24 hr. Oh wait.. 30 minute flight.. :)

+1 - or better yet if it's doable, cockpit shots.
