Thanks for a great year

On March 22, 2015, I attended my first AC FT Do, at the Fairmont YVR http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...ini-do-14.html

As I've posted before, AC FTers are an awesome group, a unique collection of personalities, brilliance and talent.

To those of you I met that day and others I've met here on the forum, thanks for welcoming me, for teaching me, and for reminding me it's ok to laugh when non FFs and non-FTers ask "What do you mean you're flying again tomorrow...you just flew yesterday?"


(is it Do season yet?)

Thanks for this. I didn't know it was a year already. Safe travels all!

I'm an occasional forum member at best and have largely stepped away from posting, but I echo 24L's comments. It was great to meet those who attended and put faces to names and maintain a friendship with many of you. I appreciate the feedback on questions I've posed. Thanks 24left for the comment above and hopefully our schedules mesh soon for a dinner/drinks/tall tales session. We can debate whether it's better to spend one's airborne time in a pod or driving the bus.
Speaking of drinks, if you're reading this nomadic_relief, I believe some local beers are overdue? My shout.

We should really do another Do. The YVR do was an awesome one and was my first one. Also met 24left there.

I'm moving back to Canada after 6 years in the UK... the members here on this forum have been invaluable in assisting / teaching me a ton about AC and Aeroplan. Hope to meet some of you in the future in MLL's or at Do's!

Wow Two-Four. That was also my first do. I too have made some friends as a result. Thank you for starting the thread and for your valuable input on FT.

Had to integrate some sort of patriotism into my username when I registered! ^
