Nothing automatic about it.

You have to make application to a panel of 100 judges.

If even one black-balls you for any reason, like for being a FF'er on KE, your post count is reduced to zero and you assume jfe status.

Well I'll be going to Tuscon in a few weeks to see my brother.

He's out there for three months flying these bad boy Apaches. (yup, he got all the skill/brains in the fam!

) If you watch the entire clip, the ending looks like fun!!

His last couple of flights, and next 15, will be what they call 'in the bag' flights...tarps covering the windows where you can't see!!

THAT doesn't sound fun!! But they are so cool. All the pilot has to do is look at the target and squueze a trigger. Pretty awesome stuff!!

You're the only one I know about.

Here's a bit of jfe trivia for the Lounge newbies.

He used to moderate a couple of forums here on FT including one very controversial one. Anybody know/remember which ones?

On an off-topic note, scoow could you please scare up the last iteration of our Lounge Personnel Roster??

We asked for volunteers for Lounge Doctor and Lounge Witch Doctor, never received any, and now I'm going to "volunteer" a couple Lounge Lizards/Lizardettes for these critical positions.

Yep. But, I won't spoil it for others who want to find out for themselves.

Good thing you are going to "volunteer" them. Involuntary assignments have to be paid more... sometimes in CASH.

Hi everybody!

I'm just popping in for a moment to ask a question that I think MikeMpls will have the answer for, but I didn't think it needed a whole thread out in the DL forum. I hope y'all don't mind me doing this in here.

I just booked an award ticket and I'm going to be on NW metal in first. What is the baggage allowance for passengers ticketed in first?

I was told 3 bags....2 at 70lbs, 1 at 40lbs.

But we all know we know more than the phone agents know. So is this right?

scoow, thanks again for finding this elusive post for those of us who are search impaired.

I've appointed braefoot as Lounge Doctor. While I don't believe she has an MD degree, she at least has a PhD and that's sufficient for this motley crew of individuals.

I'm undecided on the Lounge Witch Doctor position so am leaving it open for the moment. I'm open to suggestions as to who should hold this important yet mystical position.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Next time you try to pay for groceries at Kroger and are a few bucks short, tell them you have in excess of 10K FT posts.

They let you walk everytime as they're so impressed.

Cholula I'll accept the position of doctor reluctantly.
"Why reluctantly?" I hear you ask. Well, Alysia would not take my advice!

Has anyone heard how she is?

Ack! I'll do it, but only if I get a frilly apron with the DL logo on it.
