I asked everybody to email me some information:
Quote:
Can you please email the first & last name of everybody attending the tour, company you work for or fly for, title & cell phone #).

mike.comuniello@alteontraining.com

Will need this information, whether or not you sent this information to me already...
From that email, I put this list together:

Connor Mawwhinney
Jacob Hanson - juxtapilot
Ethan Pearson- Pomerantz
Mike McDonald Polarbear
Winnifred C. Ward
Dale Head - bumblee
Josh Howe - Raskolnikov

So, I am guessing you never sent me an email...

I'll have a car with room for 3 other people that day if people need to get shuttled between sites. If the Alteon tour is really that fast do people want to grab lunch between there and Boeing?

Well, I made it but it sure wasn't pretty.







The gate agent working the IAD-SEA flight I was trying to get on forgot about me at the last minute and pulled the jetway. By the time I figured out what was going on the plane was already back in the alley! Doh!

Well, that was a boatload of fun.

Mike, thanks for putting it all together. I had a great time. It was good to see everyone again/meet the new people.

Quick recap for those who couldn't make it. I'm going to forget a whole bunch of people's names.

A tour of the SEA Alaska Airlines operation starting at the front ticket counter moving back through baggage, ramp, ramp ops, line MX, the engine shop, the sheet metal shop ($6000 metal flanges! Yeah!) and then over to the operations center to walk through MX Control and Dispatch a few of the corporate offices and then the sim bay.

Thanks to Dave, Station Manager Guy, Ticket Counter Manager Guy, PR Lady, Baggage Area Manager Guy, Station Ops Supervisor Guy, Gate Assigner Lady, MX Guy and MX PR Lady, Machine Shop Guy, MX Controller Guy, and Dispatch Supervisor Guy. As I said, I am going to forget the names.

From there we walked back to our cars and headed over to Boeing to go through the Alteon tour. We were really short time so Rex at Alteon did a very abbreviated walk through of their facility. They have one of the nicest sim bays I have ever seen. A few people got to fly the 737-700 for a go around the pattern before we had to bail and head over to the 787 and 748 mock ups.

Kent (I think) and Steve gave a great presentation at the CEC where we saw the 787 (I really can't wait to fly on one of those) and 747-8 mockups. We then when through the sales room in the back where Boeing reps work with their customer airlines to figure out their needs. RFID rocks. Oh yeah, there were some kicking Stereo 3D glasses installed.

Over all it was a great time.

And now I am off to catch a red eye back to the right coast.

Wow, what a great day! That really was incredible. All the tours were great. The Alaska/Alteon/Boeing folks really went all out to show us around. Everyone was really friendly.

Thanks once again Mike for putting this all together!

In my haste to get out the door I forgot to grab my camera off the coffee table. What a mistake that was. Any of you wise folks who brought a camera mind sending me some of your pics? If someone could burn a disc I could send some $ for shipping.

-Josh
