Please let me know if there are open slots for the plane pull. Would love to be a part of one of the teams. Also, I am a tug of war champ if that helps the odds.

If you sent me your completed form I will have a copy with me tomorrow but please bring yours just in case.
If you did not return the form or just received it please bring it with you tomorrow.
See you at 12:30PM and 2PM for the pulls!
The staging area will be behind the A320 we will be pulling which is usually the first United plane you will pass as you enter the event. Please arrive at the time you signed up for as we do have alternates for both time slots and it is on a first come basis. As I have pulled before myself and my +1 will be more than happy to sit out and let you pull should we have too many pullers.
Hope you all have fun tomorrow.

Hi Everyone:
I was on a legit pull team in college. Long story short, we had to pull a couple hundred yard rope with a sophomore team (my team) on one side of a river and a freshmen team on the other. Man, that was a long time ago but the taste of victory is still sweeter than any hot fudge sundae, freshly baked cookie or glass of bubbly served to me on a flight to Europe. Let's show the other teams tomorrow that sitting in first class (on occasion) has not made us soft.
See you at the pull,
Tom

No wonder they made the F cookies smaller
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Let's borrow an A380 from SQ......
Sorry I travel most in E+ only
Beside I have to pull 2 teams. So should I extend my "sportsmanship" to both teams?

I think you need to pull up lame in the first outing only to have a heroic recovery for the second. It will become FlyerTalk legend I tell ya.
