Why do you keep bringing me into your posts?

I didn't even know you are Jewish, much less belong to a temple.

1. Getting doused was voluntary. Not all RWT participants jumped in last year.
2. The gloves / booties have nothing to do with RWT. They are for another day of fun!
3. It's a raft, not a barrel. One is used in the event of aircraft water ditching. The other is used for going over Niagara Falls.
4. RWT 1 is currently full.

D'oh! So what is the process to get on the waitlist for either/both of the RWT?

I hadn't registered for either as I was debating if it was worth it to do both since I'd only want to do the water stuff once. I also didn't realize there was a chance that they would BOTH fill up.

Just head over to http://www.atldo.com/index.php/registration and add yourself to the waitlist.

BTW, any chance of a behind the scenes tour of the Revenue Management Department? I'm not asking them to let MikeMpls to spend a half hour under the hood of their computers examining the code*, just to let us meet some of them and ask them questions.


*although that could be interesting...

As Elijah responded to Elisha's request of a double portion of Elijah's spirit, "You have asked a hard thing."

I'd like to meet the wonderful ladies (and one man) who work in CCS at the Post Flight Resolutions escalations dept. They've been helpful over the year

Exclamation Watch for a Major Announcement Next Week Regarding This Event...

atldlff and I received news earlier today from Delta Air Lines regarding a major development pertaining to this event that has us so incredibly and absolutely stunned that we want to announce it right now — but cannot as of yet.

Consequently, we sincerely hope and believe this pending major announcement — which could be posted here as soon as next week — will amaze and excite many of the attendees of this event once it is posted.

We are currently scrambling on coordinating the best way to make this work — as it may involve some major schedule changes — but we believe it will be well worth it...

...and yes, what we want to announce is now confirmed and definite as of today.

Please stay tuned...
