As it turns out, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice has decided to give me a degree as well.
That will be a third degree.

I'm currently scheduled to arrive in Atlanta at 10 PM, so I probably won't be able to make the early festivities. However, if I get to leave early at least I won't need to be on the TSA list to clear security as my MDW-ATL boarding pass should be sufficient

Actually, they "kind of" do! Of course the DO activities are a bit different, but they are quite adventurous, diverse, and comprehensive. CO is the sponsoring airline of the SMDO II, take a look at the first page of the thread, and you will see a sampling.

Continental has hosted four such events, most recently in February, 2009. Here are some pictures from the last one:

Looks like my 5:30AM PVD-ATL has been pushed back to 7:00AM... therefore, my expected arrival should be around 10, which I think should be plenty early to still get a head start on the activities...

Important Information - Read Me!
Gooooood Morning Everyone (Afternoon Dovster)- I have put together the following instructions for tomorrow. Please note that the Delta Simulator agenda item will not be active until tomorrow at noon Eastern. However, feel free to use this time to make sure you can get into your account and see your current agenda and even consider adding the dinner events to your agenda if you haven't already done so. This will ensure that you will not have issues tomorrow with the limited spaces available.
If you have problems please do not send me a PM. Please send all requests/problems/issues to [email protected]. I will accept small bottles of Jack in person at the event in October as well :-)
Here are your step by step instructions on updating your agenda to include a simulator time in a Delta Boeing 767 or 777 simulator !

...and I do not intend to post any announcements from my little Apple iPod, so any announcements that may need to be made will have to wait until Monday.
That is all.
Remember that registration for the flight simulators is tomorrow, in case anyone forgot...
I do not want to type much more or I will wear out my finger, although I probably do not need to worry about someone giving me the finger...

Goooooood Morning backatcha! (bacteria for Canarsie but I digress....)
I note the sign-up is Noon EST tomorrow.
I've done some fairly sophisticated mathematical calculations concerning the speed of light, the physical rotation of the earth and the absolute value of pi.
I won't bore you with the scientific details but I have determined that those of us here on the Left Coast, approximately 2000 miles from the netbook server, will take about 1 more second to log-in than those who may be located in the EST zone.*
I'd therefore like to respectfully request that those of us out here in LaLa Land be allowed to log-in at 11:59:59 AM EST tomorrow.
Thanks in advance for what I'm sure will be an approval of this request.
* In case Dovster decides to claim he too is very distant from the server, I've determined that those located east of the server actually have a slight edge over others due to the rotation of the earth.

I don't arrive into ATL until after 10 PM Wed. I'll miss the airport socials, but hope to have a drink or two at the Hilton. Knowing my luck they'll close the bar right before I check in......

When you and I went to school they told us that the sun and the moon circle the earth.
