Cool Allow me to welcome J.Edward to the UA/CO moderation team!

I have a brief but important announcement to make...

He has been of huge assistance over a long period of time with his tireless work on the FAQs for both the Continental OnePass forum and the combined MileagePlus forum. He has similarly helped the FlyerTalk community in a variety of ways at numerous events over the years. He is an intrepid traveler, having withstood three back-to-back LAX-HNL-SFO-SYD round trips in a row without becoming permanently attached to the aircraft. Not once, but twice he has managed to be the first Continental customer to qualify for Platinum elite status in a calendar year (once by Jan 10 and once by Jan 14). He is on the Board of Directors of Frequent Flyer Giving which holds periodic events to raise money for UA/CO emolyees in need. Hailing from teh festering pit of Huston, Texas, he brings a unique flair to the group. I am pleased to announce the addition of J.Edward to the UA/CO forum moderation team.

Welcome, J.Edward

So a little crazier than even the average FTer ..definitely the makings for a moderator for this forum.

Welcome J.Edward. I'm very happy to have you as a moderator here.

I knew I saw his name as a moderator this morning - but figured I missed the announcement.

Welcome, indeed.

Glad you are part of the moderator team, given your experiences. ^ Definitely put the "frequent" in frequent flyer.

Congratulations, J.Edward! You are a boon to FT, the CO/UA boards and now should be an excellent moderator to our soon to be combined forum.
