forgot to bid 04-12-2014 04:12 PM

I am so sick of looking at my May bid. And I know in a couple of days, I'll be sick to my stomach that I didn't notice I put rotation 2934 when I meant 2215...

Funny, I also always introduce myself as Forgot to bid from APC as well.

I could see where you could do that, being so similar and all...

Pretty sure we have a official hand gesture now. Just throw up "the shocker" sign and say " what up". Either you get turned in to pro-stans or the chief pilot or the give you the return.

How did that conversation work? I'm trying to figure out how to go about outing myself.

On second though, that might not be a good plan. :cool:

Recognizing Other APC Posters

Guys,

Its a fairly simply proposition - How do we recognize other APC posters without coming across as a total dork? The key is in the initials - APC. We make up a fictitious name with the same monogram, say Alan Cline for example. Then you bring in the P.

It would work something like this, "Hey do you know a guy named Alan Cline? I think he went by his middle name - Percy? There it is APC.

Obviously we would have to come up with a weird name to minimize false positives. The beauty of this technique is that you remain covert if the recipient is not an APC L&G poster. He will be none the wiser and will say something like "Don't know the guy."

So there it is, a simple way to covertly introduce yourself to all other APC L&G posters without sounding like a geek.

Now - who wants to start the process of picking a name?

OBTW - The name can really be anything I just thought the initial of APC could be helpful, we could always use something like Larry Gold for L&G.

Scoop :)

What's up with that? Delta must have a broken down bus at Changi. ??

Naw, SIN is where they are doing the mods for the lie flat seat installation. Should be done in the next couple months I think. These trips show up the day before departure in open time a couple times a month. I just got ahhhhhhhhhhhhh lucky?:rolleyes:

Oh well might as well enjoy the DHing. (I checked the flights to and from NRT from SEA. Both are oversold in business. It could get interesting...:))

Sounds like a sure fire way to end up in cuffs and a rubber jacket.

I really would appreciate it if when you're being me you be on your best behavior and make good landings.

Thanks.

Reminds me of this recent viral twitter...

Maybe I can find my out of print pamphlet "Bidding With Beer Goggles"
