LUC/K is on standby for my (delayed) ORD-IAH flight tonight. Considering the flight is 2/3 empty, I'd say they have a very good chance of living up to their name ;-)

The ORD-OMA flight has some good ones: LEW/D AND WAR/M are on the upgrade list and KIN/K has cleared :-)

Sounds like it might be an interesting flight...

Forgot to post mine from my flight on 3/27 SFO-RNO:

GER/M
LOO/P

Pat89339 Apr 26, 2010 1:47 pm

4/23 SFO-LAX
AUR/A
CAR/T
FRE/D
LYN/N

4/25 LAX-SFO
FRE/E
COL/D
STO/W
MAT/E
HAR/K
HAR/M
(there were plenty more but another FTer spotted my bag tag and we spent the entire pre-boarding time chatting)

Does anyone else see little stories in these collections of 4 letter words?

FRE/D was attracted to LYN/N's AUR/A as she was standing by the Smart CAR/T rental.

Carry on baggage is currently FRE/E, but it will be a COL/D day in heck before your seat MAT/E will HAR/K upon your request for assistance to STO/W your bag, because it may cause HAR/M to their back.

I wonder if that's the same COL/D that we've seen in other posts.

It can't be too long until Tom Butler and Dawn Heath are waitlisted together...

tkc98110 Apr 26, 2010 2:08 pm

How'd I miss this thread for so long?

I guess I'm still a COL/T, even though I just retired!

I noticed one board that had a few of those already mentioned, but the one I chuckled at most......p/oop

Seen on 04/22, IAD-SFO

POR/K

and my favorite:

BRO/M (this one was me actually, #15 on a list of 32). What I loved though was arriving in SFO, and seeing a flight departing for ORD, with the upgrade list at 47 people!!
