Talking This Is How I Roll :) End of Week DL Fun

As I sit here and read about all the changes, rumors, new medallion classes (KM will always rule, all Hail BogusRogus!) and especially the gate lice & DYKWIA stories I started to chuckle and thought to myself:

The week is coming to an end... since I'm traveling TPA-MSP-LAS on Sunday once again for yet another tradeshow I should take some time in the office and prep ALL my DYKWIA tags to put on my laptop bag. I only need to cordinate some FO's to play the trumpets as I push aside the gate lice on my way to the front of the SP line and proclaim DYKWIA in unison as loudly as possible... Any volunteers?



On a more serious note... I only keep the KM tag on my bag but should put all of them on this weekend and see what reactions I get as a social experiment... Have a great weekend everyone!

They must add 5 pounds to the weight of your bag

^ LMAO, I just read this as I was eating a Jimmy John's sandwich and felt guilty I didn't include that one. I carefully peeled the sticker off the wrapper for now to put on a tag until I find the real deal Ham Sand sticker

not really only the DM cowbell tag adds weight, the KM tag is the only one that matters

At first glance, I read 'erections' and had to re-read it twice to make sure

Must. Have. Eyes. Checked. A.S.A.P.

Better yet, if you are upgraded, have nothing on your bag except for a silver medallion tag and see how many evil stares you get from passing GM/PM/DM that weren't upgraded.

That's an excellent idea, I booked an A fare so I'm in F the whole trip, except I trashed my FO and GM tags about 13 years ago... all these others were literally stuffed in the back of my junk drawer in my desk except for the last PM and DM tags...

Edit... I can put the AA tag on, then tell them I made the upgrade on status match + the Delta AX card!!
