[AG-TECH] Multiple use for quick bridge

[Don Morton]

I think the AG community should have some sort of award for
the first person to engage in a conversation in the lobby 
from cruise altitude.

If y'all decide on a good one, maybe I'll cash in some miles
and try to be the first, though I don't know if any Alaska Air
partners are going to have ISP's....

Guy, didn't you say you were flying next week??
