transcripts : January 27, 2003
InHoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:30:33 PM)
What's the good news?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:30:36 PM)
OK
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:30:48 PM)
the owner of a mobile billboard company
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:30:54 PM)
and his partner are PMs
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:30:57 PM)
will do it free????
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:00 PM)
and they are willing to work with us
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:03 PM)
not quite for free
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:08 PM)
ok back on topic what was done...what can we do
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:11 PM)
but if we decide to go with them
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:12 PM)
maybe offer them some miles
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:19 PM)
and do the MoblieBBS
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:30 PM)
they will do it very inexpensively
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:42 PM)
but there are a few caveats
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:43 PM)
first
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:48 PM)
looks like our purse can go up to $3000
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:54 PM)
we need to do it in more than one city
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:31:58 PM)
so not just ATL
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:03 PM)
it would be NYC
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:04 PM)
BOS
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:06 PM)
CVG
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:09 PM)
ATL
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:12 PM)
FLL?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:17 PM)
perhaps
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:22 PM)
they would tail it on to other business
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:24 PM)
not CVG.... do people there have an option ?
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:25 PM)
(not being a homer)
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:27 PM)
when they are in the cities
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:40 PM)
the idea is to get publicity
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:47 PM)
and these things turning up around the US
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:49 PM)
agreed
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:54 PM)
would certainly do that
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:32:59 PM)
definitely DFW then, with AA all over the place?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:09 PM)
and the nice thing is that it would be relatively random
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:17 PM)
Can it sit in front of leo's office?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:19 PM)
We would alert the press
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:33 PM)
and have TV coverage there in each city
I LOVE EWR (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:43 PM)
would the press care as much as we do?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:47 PM)
the only place where I think it would work best on a certain day
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:47 PM)
How much $$$ are we talking about ?
ak (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:52 PM)
how much would it cost?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:33:59 PM)
is right out side of the Board meeting
InHoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:06 PM)
I think NY is key since DL is asking Wall Street to trust them
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:11 PM)
cost depends on when where and where they will be
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:20 PM)
but we have enough to do a few cities now
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:25 PM)
In front of NYSE
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:32 PM)
or their annual meeting
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:34 PM)
eye fly...give us ball park cost
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 9:34:48 PM)
no billboards in front of NYSE
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:00 PM)
the cost for creating a reusable sign is around $1000
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:04 PM)
When we get a break, can you briefly explain the workings of a "mobile billboard"?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:09 PM)
maybe less since they will work with us
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:11 PM)
how about t shirts at the annual meeting
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:24 PM)
one of them was hoping to be here tonight
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:25 PM)
why not in front of NYSE
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:28 PM)
but I guess he's not
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:33 PM)
either would work
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:35 PM)
O2K....good idea
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:39 PM)
security
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:45 PM)
but the annual meeting would be most embarasing
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:56 PM)
so $1000 will get us 4-5 cities ?
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:35:58 PM)
It's mobile - it drives around...??
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:06 PM)
the cost of each city would likely be under $500 if we did it with another project
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:12 PM)
yes
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:13 PM)
get this
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:16 PM)
around and around
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:22 PM)
in front of the terminal
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:23 PM)
all day
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:28 PM)
does that mean our advt on one side and another on the other?
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:31 PM)
t-shirt could say, DL how could you?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:34 PM)
like they are circiling for a landing
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:39 PM)
what do you mean another project
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:43 PM)
not bad Obs
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:44 PM)
Terminial only inflames the flyers...
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:50 PM)
airport authority might move us out
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:36:56 PM)
they make their money by running these bbs
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:00 PM)
Board room or NYSE hits DL where it counts
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:00 PM)
and if they are in the city
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:14 PM)
along with bumper stickers in DL lots saying, DL, how could you?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:15 PM)
they have little additional expense getting the truck and driver there
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:27 PM)
wonder what it would cost for an Wall street Journal add?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:27 PM)
do they think that they can circle airport/
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:33 PM)
way too much
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:46 PM)
o2k...how could you not specific enouth
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:46 PM)
ok what do we need to do next to get this done?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:52 PM)
DK did you post radio cost when I was locked out?
paradocs (Jan 29, 2003 9:37:55 PM)
Obscure2K I love it
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:01 PM)
should we send someone ideas for the billboard ?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:02 PM)
Bruce will serve as treasurer
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:07 PM)
we will need copy
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:15 PM)
is anyone a copywriter?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:19 PM)
by profession?
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:20 PM)
i wasgiving radio rates when i was kicked out
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:23 PM)
Ideas - NY Shareholders Meeting - Launch of Song Air - End of February when everyone's status runs out...
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:34 PM)
OK lets focus
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:39 PM)
should it paridy the new "song" name... This song has a sour note...??
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:39 PM)
Marketing here
paradocs (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:46 PM)
this may be obvious but can't everyone double their pledge?
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:50 PM)
Shareholders' meeting in NYC April 25.
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:53 PM)
yep.... lets have a plan of action for billboards and radio
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:54 PM)
DL could you please post privces again?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:38:57 PM)
song just dilutes us
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:00 PM)
Is there the possibility to purchase the DL Medallion address database, as certain credit card companies do?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:05 PM)
exactly
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:06 PM)
i dont think that would be good....Song is kinda seperate
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:16 PM)
do you want me to give wsb rates?
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:21 PM)
yeo ATL
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:23 PM)
we can't afford a mailing list
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:27 PM)
yes please do
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:31 PM)
I still like: DELTA, HOW COULD YOU? Blanket airports with bumper stickers, have the slogan on tshirts at the shareholders meeting. Perhaps, media will start asking what it means
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:32 PM)
$1000 per spot during Clark Howard
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:40 PM)
$1000 per spot on Boortz
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:40 PM)
Maybe we can afford a mailing list, but not the actual mailing!
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:52 PM)
we need to hit airports and stockholders meeting notify the press and prey we get coverage
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:39:53 PM)
:-)
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:00 PM)
$1300-1400 per spot for morning drive (5am-8:30am)
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:03 PM)
Remember this is all for press
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:04 PM)
Maybe Tepper will give us a list for free.
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:05 PM)
which one is more popular? and is this for a 1 time spot?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:07 PM)
they need to do the work
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:11 PM)
Could we team up with The Ticket and do an e-promo of our billboards...
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:17 PM)
we can't afford a blanket ad campaign
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:19 PM)
will boortz or howard bring us on as a topuc
I LOVE EWR (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:24 PM)
i think it would be a lot easier if someone has an in at a large media company
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:28 PM)
should we all plan a call-in to wsb on specific day/time rather than buy ad???
LexPassenger (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:29 PM)
No.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:32 PM)
remember that would give us 2 spots
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:38 PM)
that's all we can afford
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:38 PM)
i think the ticket is in with us
LexPassenger (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:38 PM)
No to mikey
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:46 PM)
see how the US cockroaches got good publicity
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:48 PM)
Clark Howard also has an Etravel newsletter, goes to 54,000 Atlanta subscribers $1500-2000 per appearance
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:40:58 PM)
how about on the PBS broadcasting channel
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:17 PM)
DL do you have any other rates?
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:17 PM)
I also posted the AJC rates on the bulletin board
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:21 PM)
lex..no to the ticket or to boortz and howard
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:23 PM)
I mean ATL
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:26 PM)
but i can post them here again
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:32 PM)
please do
LexPassenger (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:32 PM)
boors and howard
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:41:34 PM)
boortz doesn't like delta
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:02 PM)
or on the Discovery Wings Channel
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:04 PM)
ATL could you post your rates?
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:05 PM)
one quarter page ad: $14,355 on a Mon, tues, wed, or thurs
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:10 PM)
ouch
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:16 PM)
what paper?
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:18 PM)
$14,690 on fri or sat
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:19 PM)
AJC
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:21 PM)
ok...how much do we need to do the billboards..we have abou2 2k pledged
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:29 PM)
$18,541 on Sunday
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:38 PM)
we have about $2500
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:43 PM)
maybe a bit more
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:49 PM)
and need
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:51 PM)
considering some pledged more
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:54 PM)
what about a billboard at Hartsfield in baggage claim
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:57 PM)
what about web ads?
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:42:58 PM)
looks like it is down to the billboards unless any of the ATL radio folks have us on as an interesting topic
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:00 PM)
i'm in media sales, so i can help with this
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:02 PM)
for the $2500 we could do several cities
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:09 PM)
I'm with all of you and I'm more than happy to contribute financially, but I have a stupid question. Who is our target audience with this "blitz"? Is it DL management? Non-FT Medallions? The general public?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:14 PM)
we would have to tie it to a web presence
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:19 PM)
Press
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:24 PM)
press only
Middle_Seat (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:26 PM)
DELTA HOW COULD YOU sounds like a clever advert for the company. This project is guerilla marketing, which means you need the media to pick up on it and spread your message for free. Billboard needs to refer folks to a website, which has the info.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:29 PM)
we want press attention
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:32 PM)
i think it needs to be a grass roots effort
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:40 PM)
In my opinion, the only real audience is the news media, which hopefully will cover the story.
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:46 PM)
will the media be sympathetic tough?
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:48 PM)
though
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:49 PM)
Why would the press care? I'm playing devil's advocate here.
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:49 PM)
very focused and carefully planned
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:50 PM)
someone go register DeltaHowCouldYou.com before what's his name does
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:55 PM)
At the airport only hits travellers - they're not the target
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:43:58 PM)
business issue
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:06 PM)
uncle leo hates bad press
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:06 PM)
Delta is destroying itself
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:09 PM)
with war imminent, the press won't likely care.
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:16 PM)
do it now, RVBOOS
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:22 PM)
they only care if we bring out the implications to the local economy, business, etc
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:25 PM)
I think we've been through this guys
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:27 PM)
i'm not web savvy enough or I would
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:30 PM)
That's a legitimate concern. We have to make our story interesting.
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:31 PM)
Exactly my point, Andy. I don't think they would care anyway.
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:33 PM)
but if we get press--we win the battle
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:33 PM)
the consensus was that the press does care
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:40 PM)
if the story is compelling
Art234 (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:47 PM)
We don't want to sound like a bunch of whiners.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:49 PM)
and I think we can make it compelling
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:53 PM)
something is missing an edge to catch the eye
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:44:55 PM)
didnt starwood try this with the bora bora thing?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:01 PM)
usatoday already is sympathetic
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:01 PM)
it is a business issue
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:05 PM)
not a FF issu
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:06 PM)
it has to show how it's impacting local business
Art234 (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:14 PM)
I like the Palmetto bug symbol like US has the cockroach
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:17 PM)
remember 97% of the people don't understand the issue...
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:19 PM)
Let's be honest ... how compelling is it that a few thousand FFs have had their benefits reduced?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:19 PM)
their stupidity is costing them business and endangering the airline
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:25 PM)
we need to make the message CLEAR
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:41 PM)
very clear
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:42 PM)
the message is DL alienating it's best customers
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:45 PM)
that's news
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:54 PM)
why would the press take FF's word for the imminent demise of the company over what analysts/the company says
elektrik (Jan 29, 2003 9:45:58 PM)
you need a billboard with one phrase, less than a dozen words, and a URL
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:01 PM)
and with a mobile BBS it will be big news in DL cities
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:03 PM)
Christopher at USAToday jumped on the story quick
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:03 PM)
no...dl is alienating its customers
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:05 PM)
Delta is finally playing the tune all of it most loyal customer have been dying to hear! (Hit the road Jack swells up). After 2o years of loyal service Delta airlines has to us to "HIT THE ROAD JACK" (shouted by 100l laptop carrying, PM badge wearing diehards standing in front of HQ or the Shareholders meeting)
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:14 PM)
elek absolutely
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:20 PM)
they are making bih deal out of elite
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:33 PM)
we keep them in business
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:35 PM)
Even my family doesn't care, honestly. Why would the press or the public?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:49 PM)
we need to draw press attention to how we're all leaving
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:46:50 PM)
Delta, HOW COULD YOU, may make the media take notice. After all, someone has to ask what all of those bumper stickers in the airiport parking lots and all over CVG & Atl mean
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:06 PM)
Coming from NY, I can think of a slightly different slogan
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:09 PM)
how many will that be? 100? 200?
InHoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:12 PM)
Investors will care if they think that mgmt. is alienating high rev. customers
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:14 PM)
I studied the cockroach story and history when I saw it...even though I don't fly USAir
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:17 PM)
but it wouldn't be usable on the family channel
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:25 PM)
Delta: HOW COULD You make us INVALUABLE to your Business
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:30 PM)
we can refine the message
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:37 PM)
but we need consensus on how to deliver it
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:43 PM)
Delta, HOW COULD YOU? WWW.Saveskymiles .com.....but make ssm very informational
Art234 (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:50 PM)
If those who said they're walking actually walk, DL will notice shortly....
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:53 PM)
anyone strongly object to the mobile BBS?
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:47:59 PM)
i dont see a mobile billboard having much lasting power
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:07 PM)
we don't need lasting power
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:09 PM)
im in
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:11 PM)
just a few cities
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:15 PM)
It will work if the media notice.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:17 PM)
randomly
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:24 PM)
bumper stickers may be a very cheap alternative. Anyone know what BS (short for bumper stickers) cost?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:24 PM)
Bruce I think the media will
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:29 PM)
we need a quick, surgically placed hit or two
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:38 PM)
we must get press kit..we need pr people
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:44 PM)
Me, too. But we have to make our story interesting.
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:45 PM)
ATL & NYC only needed ones to get point to investment public
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:47 PM)
obs the problem is bumper stickers won't do it for the press
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:54 PM)
to be honest I doubt it will work in ATL b/c Delta controls the main market share there.. and customers dont have many options
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:48:56 PM)
unless we crash our cars
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:05 PM)
"Delta: Not a good airline for frequent flyers!!!" Go to saveskymiles.com"
elektrik (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:05 PM)
who are you targeting with the mobile versions? people at the airport? folks around downtowns? why them?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:14 PM)
ed in yesterdays usatoday article
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:15 PM)
just the press
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:16 PM)
Ok Marketing 101 - We need a Tag / a rallying cry ....what should it be?
elektrik (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:17 PM)
hit them as they hit the airport
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:20 PM)
press might notice if the BS is all over ATL
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:28 PM)
that's the idda
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:30 PM)
idea
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:36 PM)
only medallions care
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:36 PM)
who is a better "walking billboard" then all of us?? How many people would notice you in ATL Concourse A with a tshirt or something?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:49:51 PM)
how much would it cost to get us all to ATL?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:00 PM)
we also need hand outs for flights and in airports
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:01 PM)
far more than the $2500 for the bbs
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:04 PM)
BBS needs to make it sound like it affects everybody - because it really does.
LexPassenger (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:04 PM)
40000 miles apiece
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:05 PM)
we can do that
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:07 PM)
25K miles RT on skysavers.
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:08 PM)
Does anyone know a real, well-known columnist who could tell us honestly if this has a germ of a compelling column?
peteropny (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:08 PM)
even if you can't circle the airport with the mobile - you can certainly drive around the access roads
fsu69 (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:09 PM)
The Slogan should be FACT and not Opinion
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:16 PM)
Atlanta is really too big for us to blanket with bumper stickers. Even at 25 cents each, we would need $25,000 or so.
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:35 PM)
Yes I know a few Atlanta writers...
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:36 PM)
i'm friends with an AJC reporter - not famous, but i could ask him
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:43 PM)
we should make an appearance in ATL, even rent a CRC conference room to start in
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:50:51 PM)
verstantn..I have 2 that i can talk to
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:05 PM)
Good. Let's get an opinion from someone in the industry.
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:07 PM)
what happened to the DC area reporter who was on the forum last week?
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:11 PM)
The press, I mean.
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:15 PM)
anyone know politicians who fly DL and looking for votes
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:17 PM)
The question for reporter friends should be, "How do we make our story interesting enough to be picked up?"
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:19 PM)
I'll check with my sources
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:25 PM)
Exactly
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:27 PM)
bruce has it
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:33 PM)
we need this to be compelling
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:41 PM)
I see politicians every week on the Shuttle -- and elsehwre (through my work).
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:45 PM)
ok, i'll ask and report back tomorrow
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:49 PM)
I think mikey said it we need a press kit
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:51:58 PM)
I agree
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:06 PM)
we need to call the press when we do this
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:10 PM)
and let them know
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:12 PM)
I used to know Sheryl McCarthy who used to be a columnist with New York Newsday (maybe still is). I'll see if I can track her down.
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:17 PM)
we need to also EACH send a letter to AJC & USA Today - every day!
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:18 PM)
that we're doing it and why
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:18 PM)
I think while we wait, we should send the checks to Bruce... so that we are ready to go when we decide
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:21 PM)
I do...
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:28 PM)
DL yes
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:29 PM)
i can get atlanta business chronicle support
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:33 PM)
definitely need a proper press release
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:35 PM)
we need to start collecting money
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:38 PM)
I can work on getting a press kit together. Friend is former Ed of major newspapers
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:44 PM)
does anyone want to be on the press committe
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:46 PM)
maybe CVG Enquirer
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:52:49 PM)
Need someone who does 150-200K a year all on Delta who will actually burn his tags in front of the delta counter and replace them with comped AA's and buy a ticket...
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:00 PM)
A bit dramatic
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:06 PM)
And get arrested..
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:08 PM)
too dramatic
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:11 PM)
also a sure way to get put in jai=l
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:11 PM)
and probly get him or her arrested
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:17 PM)
OK
747-400 (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:17 PM)
*jail
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:20 PM)
tsa would probably arrest the fool
peteropny (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:26 PM)
we'd come off as "nuts"
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:43 PM)
we will need a group who will be responsible for the message
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:51 PM)
press committee? I'll volunteer
stockmanjr (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:51 PM)
hey folks
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:52 PM)
OK Just remove them and replace them while the press snaps away...
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:56 PM)
how about a fedex of our PM cards cut in half sent to Leo?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:53:57 PM)
OK ATL
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:03 PM)
me too atl
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:05 PM)
"SkylessMiles Means Double Fares & Half Miles"
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:10 PM)
OK Mikey
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:16 PM)
one more?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:20 PM)
for press
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:35 PM)
is someone taking notes? Rssrsvp is going nuts because he is still locked out
vasantn (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:41 PM)
Gotta go, people. I honestly think we're ______ing in the wind but I'm in financially. Just let me know where to send the check. 'Night all!
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:42 PM)
I'll do press - The New Delta - Half the Fun for Twice the Price -
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:43 PM)
mikey and DL
bajamex (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:45 PM)
How about stickers on briefcases like the pilots
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:54:57 PM)
good idea
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:00 PM)
here is where we stand
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:07 PM)
the focus is mobile BBS
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:18 PM)
I'll get firm figures and post them by Tues
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:20 PM)
next
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:21 PM)
what doc?
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:28 PM)
mikey and ATL is what you meant
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:33 PM)
what what?
GG (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:35 PM)
FT has posted the last chat, and says they'll post this one
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:43 PM)
and some catchy icon we can all wear as we travel, ie cockroaches
GG (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:53 PM)
melting widget
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:54 PM)
the chat will be posted again
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:55:57 PM)
DELTA, HOW COULD YOU?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:05 PM)
and saveskymiles will serve as our webpresence
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:08 PM)
just a button, "Delta, How Could You?"
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:13 PM)
this has already been arranged
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:23 PM)
so the BBS will link to save skymiles
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:28 PM)
I like the button idea
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:34 PM)
all we need to do is gather the $$
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:39 PM)
i guess he means handle the press...i have only 2 contacts
elektrik (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:40 PM)
to which they can mint a less than witty reply "We had to." You need something more solid than that
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:47 PM)
instructions will appear on FT
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:52 PM)
exaclty
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:56:59 PM)
Want me to research the button cost?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:01 PM)
DL and mikey will be press liasons
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:06 PM)
"Delta, How Could You?" It makes it seem like DL, your best friend, just slept with your spouse.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:10 PM)
that's a good idea RV
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:17 PM)
I agree
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:23 PM)
Seriouslly, who's in on content creation? (me)
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:23 PM)
I'm sorry I can't be a liaison...but i can help prepare
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:23 PM)
I like the slogan
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:26 PM)
i work for local media
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:29 PM)
Diver
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:34 PM)
you volunteering?
GG (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:34 PM)
we can do buttons
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:38 PM)
Mikey, doc... I have no contacts... I thought ATLpax volunteered to be the press contact
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:46 PM)
Sorry
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:51 PM)
i volunteered for a press committee
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:52 PM)
we need someone wo write up a press kit....info real facts etc...someone who knows what they are doing
Tolarian Wind (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:53 PM)
Fl-Delta, what part of FL are you in?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:57 PM)
DL and ATL - I get confused easily
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:57:58 PM)
;0(
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:03 PM)
OK, I will find out on the buttons and report back
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:05 PM)
FLL
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:11 PM)
but i can only help prepare - i can't be a media contact person
Tolarian Wind (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:12 PM)
likewise
obscure2k (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:15 PM)
good night, everyone. Family is starving in Los Angeles
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:21 PM)
can we get any support from randy
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:21 PM)
We can use locals for the calls
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:29 PM)
we will have plenty of advance notice
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:33 PM)
Let them starve, O2K!
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:37 PM)
so we can plan
GG (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:40 PM)
or eat cake
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:57 PM)
Is the plan to all be in ATL for launch?
Diver90 (Jan 29, 2003 9:58:57 PM)
I know someone who did a great job for the Northern Arc Task Force. I can see if she will help with distribution...
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:17 PM)
I can summarize
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:20 PM)
what we have so far
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:23 PM)
Or NYC for the shareholders' meeting?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:31 PM)
again ---anyone take notes to post on FT
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:36 PM)
1 - We have a mobile BBS company who is willing to discount
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:45 PM)
bdschobel, is the shareholders meeting definitely in NYC?
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:53 PM)
Yes, Aoril 25.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:56 PM)
2 - We will do it around the country at airports and the stockholders meeting
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 9:59:57 PM)
so I should buy 1 share of stock so that I can attend
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:12 PM)
3 - We have a web presence
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:21 PM)
Better hurry. Cutoff is in February, I believe.
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:22 PM)
use E-Trade and get double miles? :)
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:29 PM)
4 - Bruce will be collecting money
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:43 PM)
doc...web presence must be cleaned up...ssm needs work
bajamex (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:47 PM)
Press commitee needs to send info to wall street analysts
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:54 PM)
and to hit the press we will be contacing them prior to the running of the BBS
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:00:58 PM)
yes
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:01:10 PM)
on that note. We can also use a financial committee
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:01:13 PM)
need press kit to send
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:01:16 PM)
who will stir up the pot
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:01:33 PM)
on the financial boards
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:01:39 PM)
anyone volunteer
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:01:46 PM)
to post on Yahoo, etc?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:02:19 PM)
All you would need is a link to FT and a brief explantion of our angst
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:02:27 PM)
OK
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:02:36 PM)
guess I'll do that one myself
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:02:47 PM)
rssrsvp wants to know if we will meet again tomorrow night...he says he feels like a father in the waiting room
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:02:57 PM)
I'll be out of town
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:00 PM)

lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:27 PM)
evening
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:28 PM)
mikey and ATL can you contact each other to figure out logistics?
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:39 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:42 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:50 PM)

lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:03:58 PM)
is the chat still"ON"??
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:05 PM)
does anyone feel strongly about the radio vs. BBS?
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:06 PM)
Yes, momentarily.
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:06 PM)
yes
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:21 PM)
lofly it's been sort of on and off
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:24 PM)
radio is expensive...

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:29 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:37 PM)
I agree with the cost issue
bajamex (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:38 PM)
bbs wil get us on tv if we are lucky
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:40 PM)
maybe coordinated call in on open-line friday
DLrunner (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:49 PM)
ok all... signing off.... back whenever we decide on the next chat..
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:53 PM)
I like the idea of a mobile BBS circling airports
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:04:59 PM)
I can see it on the news
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:03 PM)
thanks DL
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:06 PM)
one importnat point
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:11 PM)
time is on our side
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:18 PM)
not only is the press important
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:24 PM)
but keeping this issue visible
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:27 PM)
What about advertising on top of taxis in NYC, anyone know what the costs are for something like that?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:27 PM)
for as long as it take
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:33 PM)
is perhaps even more so
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:39 PM)
huge
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:41 PM)
is a come back to the USA article being DONE?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:46 PM)
I checked
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:05:51 PM)
not sure
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:01 PM)
is anyone writing USA Today?
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:06 PM)
EVERY Day
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:17 PM)
I wrote to the reporter in L.A.
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:27 PM)
who...?? LA Times
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:34 PM)
I know that reporters are interested in the story
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:37 PM)
i think we should get our message together
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:41 PM)
I agree
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:47 PM)
and reply with that concept
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:48 PM)
Chris dont remember his last name. he was posted on ft
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:50 PM)
I think that a unifed voice will make a differene
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:06:58 PM)
as it did for US
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:01 PM)
someone start a thread to create a skeleton letter...??
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:04 PM)
and the same msg should go out to all the press
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:04 PM)
voice or message?
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:11 PM)
a unified voice will also "prove" that there is a group ready to take action
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:18 PM)
message - voice
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:19 PM)
same idea
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:25 PM)
yes
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:35 PM)
it would be helpful to have everyones ideas towards a general theme - can we start a thread?
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:39 PM)
big difference Doc
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:52 PM)
the fact that this is important enough for busy people to take time out is newsworthy
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:53 PM)
we also need to collect email addresses to all the papers
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:07:59 PM)
Yes
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:04 PM)
please do start a thread
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:07 PM)
there will be several
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:09 PM)
one for the money
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:16 PM)
Just CKDGM, or HRGM too?
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:20 PM)
FL there is a link on dl page for all newspapers nationwide
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:27 PM)
anyone so inclined please post that you are sending to Bruce
CKDGM (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:28 PM)
just me, HRGM has to be up early
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:31 PM)
his address will be posted
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:56 PM)
If you want to give me a "region", I will do a search for newspapers in that area and try to get letters to as many papers as possible. Why don't we do this, split the country into say 10-20 regions, and then just distribute the regions and whoever has that region is responsible for communicating with whomever they can in that area
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:59 PM)
The investor page on the DL site has a list of their board
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:08:59 PM)
I'll post another site for US nesspapers
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:09:16 PM)
dbk... great idea
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:09:35 PM)
would you like to join mikey and ATL on the press committee?
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:09:46 PM)
there are sites that have the whole country for newspapers
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:09:52 PM)
that's [email protected]
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:09:58 PM)
great
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:04 PM)
we can orgainize that part of this as well
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:05 PM)
lofty...yes
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:17 PM)
the idea is keeping up the pressure
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:21 PM)
I'll post it on FT
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:22 PM)
and we're starting to do that
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:24 PM)
thanks dbk
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:28 PM)
great
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:40 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:10:52 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:03 PM)
and do we want buttons?
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:06 PM)
last time we fired up SSM...randy gave me list of reporters
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:07 PM)

FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:08 PM)
lofly start a new one just for newspaper
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:19 PM)
ok
paradocs (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:23 PM)
GG said she might do buttons. That is part of there business I think
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:27 PM)
Can't we get buttons through one of those companies that advertises in Sky magazine?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:31 PM)
Thanks para
andymo99 (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:33 PM)
paradocs is correct.
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:37 PM)
i kinda like buttons or something like the cockroaches
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:37 PM)
that's funny
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:42 PM)
I do too
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:53 PM)
cockroach was a GREAT idea
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:11:55 PM)
buttons are more noticeable
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:05 PM)
Dirty Rats instead of roaces
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:08 PM)
GG are you able to check on buttons?
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:09 PM)
good night everyone, I will check on the buttons
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:12 PM)
mushrooms because we are shit upon
dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:14 PM)
picture of Leo on the button?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:17 PM)

dbk10 (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:18 PM)
j/k
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:20 PM)
thanks RVB
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:32 PM)
not as good as cockroach
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:33 PM)
with a cross out
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:54 PM)
Just Leo with a red circle through it?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:12:58 PM)
that would work
bdschobel (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:03 PM)
Gotta go. Son needs computer!
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:04 PM)
for me anyway
lofly (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:04 PM)
how about a turd
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:05 PM)
OK
ATLpax (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:06 PM)
let's not do anything we can get sued over
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:10 PM)
true
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:13 PM)
no leo is too personal...dl emblamb
paradocs (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:14 PM)
who would know its Leo besides us?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:16 PM)
I think we have our direction
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:17 PM)
leo not catchy enough for people that don't know the CEO
RVBOOS (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:32 PM)
ok, i'm on it like a cheap suit
mikey1003 (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:33 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:40 PM)

EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:43 PM)
OK
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:13:50 PM)
anything we are missing?
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:14:02 PM)
I guess not
FL-Delta-Platinum (Jan 29, 2003 10:14:09 PM)
Anyone on inside to get pilots FA's on board?
paradocs (Jan 29, 2003 10:14:12 PM)
thanks all
bareflanks (Jan 29, 2003 10:14:13 PM)
remember that DL lurkers are reading this also
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:14:18 PM)

hey all - sorry late
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:15:10 PM)
that's OK
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:15:23 PM)
if for some reason this doesn't happen
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:15:30 PM)
and the money isn't spent
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:15:36 PM)
it will be refunded
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:15:47 PM)
but I don't see that as an issue
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:15:55 PM)
my guess is that this will work
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:16:22 PM)
OK
EyeFlyDoc (Jan 29, 2003 10:16:32 PM)
For those of you who just arrived
