I've been called "one of those" by people I have met who have no concept of what we do but think it's all bad.
I have used the phrase, "Destination Consultant" on my resume and had people raise an eyebrow of interest and some of disbelief
I have been told I 'find loopholes' or that I'm an 'exploiter'...
I agree with Lin that we are 'FTers'
But most of all, for me, I like, "thinker."

As for a description of FTers, I'd go with "sick and twisted (but in a good way)."

I literally came up with those on the fly and other than edits, just banged it out as if... it was second nature. I am truly tapped and that's ok by me. When you can sometimes find ways to earn a biz class ticket a month thru promos and deals, why not BE tapped?
