DL do?
 
Hey folks I see on all other boards that I follow that they regularly do "dos" or get togethers. Have we ever had one here on the DL side?

There's been two - one was in ATL about two years ago (the Velvet Rope Event) and the other in CVG, also about two years ago.

CO is the primary airline that has DOs - they've had the four legendary ones in IAH, and a few smaller ones at EWR. UA has had a couple of smaller ones, and NW has had a smaller couple of DOs. I don't recall AA or US ever doing one.

I think it'd be fun :cool:

I think SAS did one, a trip to a boeing plant in SEA.

We've been hoping for a couple years for a Road Warriors training DO, but that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere. (that one would include training in the safety procedures, including popping the hatch and sliding down the emergency chute... I'd pay skymiles for that one!)

Odd that you would bring it up...

DL's "Road Warriors" class was referenced yesterday on Delta's Blog! I read about it an thought it would be a fun experience.

I'm willing to volunteer my time to organize something if y'all are interested.

What is the cost per person and the minimum/maximum group size for Road Warrior Training?

There is one coming soon:

The class action lawsuit over the award calendar! We'll have a big old time!! :D:D

We had one in CVG a couple years ago. DL was not a sponsor but did assist in the events (tours & breakfast).

Last I recall, icorproadie was working on it

I'm stuck in Cincinnati until July, so it something came along at CVG I would definitely try to attend :D

Just fired off an email to the Road Warrior Training contact so we'll see what comes from it. I did stress the PR aspect that was discussed when this first came up as well as that we are "Delta's Best Customers."

Do I misunderstand what a "do" is? This thread sounds like we're confusing a "do" (mainly social) with a separate type of event ("road warrior training")?
