Ok, new month starts tomorrow. I suggest that we start writing www.flyertalk.com and our handles on the cover page for July. Maybe this will have greater impact.

RobotDoctor, this is your idea and a good one. However, I think the cover page may be problematic some months because of the colors. I suggest sticking with the United Voice page or alternately using the table of contents page. I did the United Voice page on several flights over the weekend and it would be real easy to see.

I felt a bit like a dog marking my territory, but I signed about 15 Hemispheres this month, including a couple in the SFO and DEN RCCs. Bummer ... no apparent sightings .... of course, deciphering my writing could be a problem. Maybe I'll print in the July issues.

I did 11 in June (all at the end of the month). Didn't sight any others, obviously no one saw mine.
I did both the voices page and in some instances the crossword. dated, listed handle, flight number and origin-destination, and usually wrote 'flyertalk' or sometimes the full url.
on one flight I was seated next to a FA who was flying standby on leisure travel. I know she saw me writing but did not comment or ask, although we had struck up a conversation off and on during the flight (DEN-LAX)

So, what is going to be in July? Cover, United Voice or Content page? I have ten segments in ten days starting Saturday, and will sign all the magazines in my seat pocket and the ones in the empty seats next me.

United Voices I hope
I signed two yesterday on the United Voices page, so I hope this is what we are sticking with.

Keep it on the voices page. Otherwise we'll eventually be needing to read the entire magazine, and who does that?

I got 5 in today and did the toc as well as the Voices page since I didn't know what you'd end up deciding ... tomorrows flights will be Voices only.

Could we add this to US Airways' magazine? Anyways, I think this is a great idea.

I agree. Keep it on the UA Voices page, which is where I left my handle on yesterday's TPA-IAD flight. The cover for July didn't seem to offer many spots for writing something, anyway.
