I’m planning to have a long evening in Platinum Wing tonight before a midnight flight. Come say hi if you’re in, too!

I hope the sauna works!

When this epidemic is over we should do a big organized DO (like for LHR for example we did probably 3 years ago?)

I've only done DO's with Southern African bikeys for last 4 months so don't know what's happening in Europe (until COVID kicked in).

Interested?

Sure! If there's enough of us, we could do art (similar to ASCII art) on the crew's seat map with different tier colours?

Will you renounce your complimentary comfort seat for the sake of 4-colour art?

I doubt I would

And OWE/OWS of other programs than AY (but not with AY) will mark their seats white, taking one for the team.

VihiluoDO (OUL)

There's been some discussion in a "secret" Lumo group about breaking the no-fly-summer by having a non-organized informal DO with social distancing at the wonderful Lumo-heavy destination of OUL.
