And the last man out (straggler) is at the SEA SC, waiting for the SEA-DTW flight to board. It was a gorgeous day today, you could clearly see Mt. Rainier from Interstate 5.

And the straggler is finally in the air on the way to DTW and on the air with GoGo.
THANK You GOGO!

Sorry to have missed it, sounds like a fun event.
Thank you for coming RobOnLI! all of you who came are top-tier customers, humans, and in my opinion- you are all kryptonium medallion material. ^ (OK, or the 2% club material). Now, all you need to find a card holder and state the magic sentence. Wish I can give you all TATL upgrades to 1P.... but even I get stuck in W now because EF says there is "O" inventory and DL's computer refuses to see it...
He tried all the magics (paging mr. BogusRogus) but in spirit he was sure there. KM was one of the talks of the day at SEA on Thursday, and certainly a monument at the Friday events...
Thank you for joining us, DiverDave Hope you had a safe flight! and thank you gogo public relations group for coming to stand on the right side of right. Especially when visitors had IRROPS, your presence really helped us find them and get them in.
Oh, and at this time- also good morning to our Seattle group (including the quiet readers). Hope you'll have a minimal IRROPS morning.

Maybe. When DL took over NW I was at 987K (or something like that) lifetime EQM. The small injection of lifetime EQM I had sitting in DL at the time pushed me over the edge. So technically I'm not an OG but darn close to it....
I'm also DM and also MM. I'd be KM but I prefer to stick with the 2% club.

No, you will get a new Rolex -- purchased by Delta from the same folks who sell them to vendors in the Istanbul bazaar.

Greetings from DL3 (domestic segment), on the way home from SFO, finally getting to use my gogo promo code (being awake on this flight)!
Thankfully, my UG dry spell has ended
Looking forward to the next DO, preferably one that doesn't involve the closure of a RES center...

Anyone for seconds?
What can I say? by demand from the FT visitors community (and some readers), we had to conduct a second baking round. We hope you are enjoying it!
I wish I could be there... I can use some doughnuts as I finished them all last night... special thank you to raincityman who conducted the delivery service. raincityman, you can eat one too, I know you want to!
Once again, because we could not decide of a favorite one, we had no choice but to order all 41 different types. Please let me know if they reach a conclusion wrt the #1 doughnut
PS- We thank all the flyertalkers who already 'pledge' into the tribute (or shall I say, 'demanded' a second round of the tribute?)everyone who wish to 'chip in' for the second round can do that through paypal at [email protected] or you can email for the address, or pm me for an address for checks.

FYI, I've instructed the flight crew to adjust course to SEA. I showed them the pictures of the donuts.

I don't know, your order would have made perfect sense to me as the pilot
A little note that just arrived from a center employee to the flyertalk group...

Back from SEA Res
Hello there, DLRoads tasked me with the doughnut delivery ... lots of excited employees today! Nobody at the call center knew about the surprise event, including the management of the facility, so it was a big surprise!
Lots of employees who weren't there on Friday came up and were very appreciative of the thoughtfulness. We also held some back for the night shift who were coming on later.
Thanks everyone who made the second doughnut delivery a happy day for SEA Res!
More photos coming soon as I upload them.

Hello doughnut boy!
I actually envy you... you got to pick ALL the doughnuts in the store... does not it feel great? and for such good purpose. I hope you were allowed one as well. Glad to see that D.Y. got to pick one this time!
