I understand that Deltalina will only attend if DeltaWebDev attends.

Or vice versa?

Can rank & file employees attend or are we too riff-raff?

:p

As DeltaWebDev wrote, DL has indicated willingness to entertain two groups totalling 16 to 24 people. Our response shows an interest in something more on the scale of the recent ContinentalDO, with 300+ attendees. I see a slight conflict developing here...

I hope we aren't putting DeltaWebDev on the hot seat.

i think a lot of the people who responded are theoretilaly interested, but may not be available when the dat eand time are hammered out... I would guess about half of the 'inteested' will actually end up flaking....

If the date is known far enough in advance, you'd be surprised.

Part of the success with the CO DOs was announcing it 3-4 months in advance - I think CO DO IV was announced in early November for the second weekend in February - gave three months which was ample notice for 500 FTers to arrange for travel to Houston.

If interest exceeds capacity, I think it's fair to look at elite status to determine who makes the cut. Obviously, I'd prefer an event to accommodate everyone who is interested. But, if elite status (or lifetime miles) were a consideration, that would be fine by me (and I'm nowhere near MM, FWIW). I'd even be cool with a random drawing of sorts. Guess what I'm saying is I think it's important for ALL of us that this event move forward, even if we cannot all be accommodated.

It'd work for me...I knew becoming a PM would have its advantages :D ;)

I'm sure the answer would be "Yes".

Well, I voted in the poll before I read the thread, but count me in as long as the dates work and it doesn't fall on a weekend when the fares are through the roof for some crazy reason (I'll probably be coming from SEA).

InStock Mar 6, 2009 10:21 pm

Seems to be a consensus...DL PMs only.

;)

That would be 525 people at the Continental DO IV. They're easily entertained if you can find a 757 and a crew, plus 4 cases of champagne per 100 FlyerTalkers.

Previous discussions had people paying for RWT, which served to thin the herd quite a bit but was still creating a substantial waitlist.

Only people who had at least 500 posts as of March 1.

Just kididing.

With your activity on Flyer Talk I would be offended if someone said you should not attend. Employees who participate in the frequent flyer talk community help give insight and would add to the effectiveness of a DO.

A crew that includes Deltalina and Dentyne Smile Guy. If the CO DO had their celebrity F/As on board, I wouldn't want our DL celebrity F/As left home!
