mega-multi-postings, Rudi... 914 posts for you, 682 for Catman... At least Swissair is led by Mr Katz (miau, miau) - it's a feline conspiracy.
I don't think that being a mock-king would go against the Swiss constitution, and I have a few suggestions for the 'royal court'
* a court jester (emmett_nancy_roberto?)
* machiavelli/james bond type (Merry Flyer? - for getting his guests into the BA lounge. As long as he likes his martinis shaken not stirred...)
* icecream taster (jaws43?)

may be your right baobab - but i really don't like that king/queen/prince/princess - stuff very much.
but I admit:
crownings, marriages, deaths of king/queen/prince/princess televised in Switzerland get ratings of 101% and a lot of Swiss tears (at least that was about the rating when Diana was buried - and - what a real shame - when a week later mother Theresa died I think the TV rating for the ceremonies was about 2%).

Very interesting info on Swiss Army Knives and Watches. I received a fake Swiss Army Watch recently, maybe, someone will comment on it (except it looks fake I suppose) and I can share these tidbits with them.

Ok, I'll drop the Royal Court idea. Thanks
for your imput.
IN fact a few of my friends reminded me that
the Americans got rid of the king over two
hundred years ago... and why bring that stuff
up.
Thanks for the imput guys, especially you
Rudi. You saved me from being thrown off
the boards!
Maybe just a club of FlyerTalk contributors
would work better.
But I do like my flag idea. I think the
Texas version is copyrighted. CATMAN

As long as we put the white on the bottom and the red on the top(TEXAS is opposite, along with adding the saddlebags, etc., the flag will be OK. We could also put Swiss chocoloate in there but, as with Blue Bell, it would melt. So, we'll just melt the Swiss chocolate and put it on the Blue Bell ice cream. Nine Hundred how many postings?

If we open a couple of more threads like this one, perhaps Rudi and Catman can continue their conversation and quickly close in on 1000 posts! All kidding aside, both Rudi and Catman have offered a number of helpful suggestions. But I think things have gotten a bit carried away and would appreciate a return to the topic (FF programs) at hands. Thanks!

Sorry if I got carried away, MileKing (can't
speak for the others) but sometimes I am
having so much fun I can't stay focused.
But it shows you guys have a better sense of
humour than some of the people I work with.
Thank you for your patience. CATMAN

I'm going to post this reply *after* reading Catman but *before* I read MileKing's post! How about:
Beckles as the Duke of Delta (and keeper of the Crowne Room Jewels)?
Jaws as the Count of Continental?
Jimboliguy as the Autokrator of American?
Mileageaddict as the Noble of Northwest?
PremEx as the of Knight of United?

Noble of Northwest, eh? The way I have been throwing most of my business at United this year (with the NW strike, etc.), I will be known as the... Nothing at Northwest pretty soon!
