+1. RWT was like being a FA...There should be a similar event with FTers being GA's and ramp agents!
I think your intent was to have us all for a full week at which time you believed you could transform us into DL-Loving automatons whose future would consist of writing postivive DL posts on FT, hawking DL AMEX CCs at ATL, MSP,DTW and SLC, and throwing large parties for JR and RA on alternating weekends. However, we saw through all this and called you on it, so now you have retreated and claim some sort of benevolent purpose. Your evil plan has been foiled, at least for now. QUOTE]
That would be a great addition to the DO. We should also scan boarding passes (to make sure that everyone boards in the right zone) and work the phones at the reservation desk.
And the sad thing is, that's only about halfway tongue-in-cheek for us.

Thank you for the feedback and responses so far. There certainly is quite a high level of interest in this event, which, given the feedback from the last event is no surprise at all. We are still very early in the planning stages, and we are reviewing the feedback on here as well as the e-mails. We will do our best to take the feedback into consideration as we move further along with the planning. I never under-estimate the creativity of FT members! You never know what we might come up with… We will continue to provide everyone with updates when we have confirmed the details.
In the meantime, several people have asked if they could put a deposit down now - . Rest assure, we will do our very best to accommodate everyone once we have selected the dates and officially open the event for registration, which won’t be until sometime after the beginning of the calendar year. We were able to clear the waitlist for everyone that wanted to attend the last event, so we ask for your continued patience.
Safe travels.

Was it real food?
I'm being sarchastic...
From the meals I've had served to me on flights before, I could probably ace it.

Really excited for the DO.
Sounds great!
I even thought of a really creative idea of letting the FAs be passengers and having FT members be that FAs in one of the mock-up cabins at the training center. Now that would be good material for the comedy channel.

Who knows what we have in store for the next event One never knows. Like Canarsie and I have said before, stay tuned...

Who says we are not working on a GA program? Do you think you can handle 8-10 outbound flights in day, during bad weather, with a few cancellations thrown in for good measure? And how about managing the Breezeway boarding at the gate and scanning boarding passes, while fielding all those questions about did FC really board full, and why do I have to gate-check this 29" rollerboard that I got through security?
