How do you personally judge another person unless you share some form of live exchange with them? I guess as FF's we have our customer/business relationship but I'm talking a personal judgement about another human being? Why all the icky vitriol and throwing insults?

OP - I appreciate your gesture and post. It reminds me to prepare a couple critical yet respectful questions to ask should the opportunity arise. I sure don't need to bag on the guy or people who may be excited meeting RA.

He also flys the competition a lot to see what real international F/J look like.

Yes. As he came down I just asked if he could sign my bp, and he did so and shook hands...

Maybe the desk was scheduled for cleaning?

Coincidentally, tracking down RA and having him sign your BP (which requires that you know the secret handshake) is now a prerequisite to getting a complementary medallion upgrade.

Any noticeable body odor?

At the ALT DO, that is exactly where he told us he sits. Well, for dom flts anyway. You can bet he ain't sitting in no Y exit row on an intl flt.

Especially as it relates to questions regarding the broken award engine ^

I'm sure that they brought the desk with him, so that the desk-sitter can sit at his desk at the press event. Or failing that, they must have made some good replicas of it.

That is one heck of a check in, though I've seen a Ferrari scheduled to be cargo for a flight once.

I don't care who you are... that's just plain funny!
Speaking of the pre-flight video...

I'd rather run into Deltalina!

I'd pay $100 if Bob came here to give us an honest update (other than repeat his 3 points from 2010 above)

All DL execs fly coach domestically, unless there is an open seat up front after the elites have cleared. They are allowed positive-space premium class service internationally, although I don't remember if that only holds true for flights for work purposes.
