A Big Thank You!

I'm now back on east coast. I need to also add a big thank you to Doug and Kristie. This is an incredible amount of work and financial commitment for both of them.

I think this was my 5th NJC. We had more room at this event than any of the others that I can remember. The venue worked very well if anyone is keeping track on the venue side of things.

The hotel is user friendly and easy to get around in. It must be the only one in Vegas that doesn't make you walk through the casino to go everywhere. That's a very nice change.

The airline with the most pilots in attendance had to be the ExpressJet gang.

It's great to see this NJC come together and see everyone again. This truly is a very special group that Doug has created.

The only other suggestion that I can make would be to try to add back in some of the types of seminars that were presented in the past. That would gives folks an excuse to hang around 2 days.

Once again thank you for producing this event and thank you to everyone that attended.

I am back home now after a long day of travelling. But it was worth it. I had an absolute blast, and wish I could have been there longer. It was great to see old friends, and meet new ones.

I really liked the venue this year. It wasnt hot and crowded. Very great event @Derg and @Kristie
 
We just got home (thanks to the SWA CA who insisted that my husband get to ride while the gate agent was trying to stop him, claiming weight and balance issues). It is so nice to meet great people each year, catch up with those met at past events and to see people moving on up!

Thank you to those who helped me on the hike!

And thank you Kristie and Doug!!!!!!
 
Thanks @Derg and @Kristie ! What a great event. Only my second one, but got to meet even more great folks!

Thanks to @SteveC challenge for all the "extra" drinks :)

I had a blast with all of you there, both new friends and old. Looking forward to next year!
 
I'm sitting at the airport, all bymyself :(
waiting for my flight out of Vegas, thinking about the value of using an internet forum to bring so many people together in "real life"...My first year of many. If you didn't see the vision in all this, you're doing it wrong. ;)
Thankyou Kristie and Doug!
btw, thank you to the folks that took charge on the hike and made it happen! & I really appreciate a certain someone that didn't want to go to in&out after, but still did!

Dude, I totally met you! I'd say I was the dude with the jeans and blue button-down shirt, but that doesn't really narrow it down. :p

Ooooh, Brent... slaps head.

When I was talking to you last night, and I said there's another guy on the site who flies for an ACMI carrier. Remember I couldn't remember the screen name, yeah... it was you that I was thinking about/referencing!

Doh!
 
I am adding my thanks to Doug and Kristie, for a well exceuted, and above all fun event. I am certainly coming next year, by far one of the best networking events out there.

It was great to connect with Team Seattle from my neck of the woods, and everybody had good stories especially the idiosyncrasies of the CRJ in cold weather compared to my company's product line.

Thanks again, for a great event, next time I plan on not flying out the following morning so I can hang out the day afterward.
 
Thanks Doug, Kristie, and everyone!

It was a great time!

Glad to talk to so many people and catchup with friends while making new ones!

Really glad I made the trip, it was great meeting everyone.

Hopefully @ozziecat35 doesn't lose his shirt now that he's won some change on craps.

I believe I also owe @killbilly a couple margaritas next time I'm in DC, since he swiped the check at Yolo's.

Definitely be back next year @Derg!

That was the sneakiest check swipe I've ever seen! Thought he just got up to use the head...Well played sir, thank you @killbilly, lets get together soon and discuss stability around the three axis of an airplane! :-)
