I have received, and sent, 10 requests for the badge today. i.e. cheque and stamped self addressed envelope. No problem at all.

However, converting USD into cash has been done, but the conversion rate is something no-one can guess, let alone get right, so the answer is no, sorry.

I am in much the same predicament as AVman

would 15 GBP cash be and an addressed envelope back to Oz be acceptable?

Bumfish. Yep, no problem. :)

sweet

it's in the mail

Must say thanks for the quick turnaround on getting the badge out - good job.

Question is, how do I make sure it's seen when I'm getting on the 'plane, short of pointing to my chest and grinning like a loon? Is there a secret handshake factsheet I should have got with the badge? ;-)

I'll have to money as soon as I get my USD exchanged, But I was wondering, a sticker for the side of the flight bag would look great too, any chance of getting any of those made?

Thanks,

Gulf227

FLY SAFE!!!

Damn! I just sold my flight bag! Wouldn't make any difference though. Danny is working on a number of ideas - maybe that is one of them - but don't hold your breath - yet! :)

Hey IFR, Received my badge today! Thanks very much indeed, It will be nice to see how many badges we can see at the airports soon?
Discreet and to the point! Cheers all,

Thanks for the badge - very discrete and tasteful. Shall be wearing it on UK2294 tomorrow on my way to see my lady love!!

Well, since GBP15 seems to be the going rate for overseas (well Europe in my case), cheque will be in the post Monsday latest. Any difference to the Fund. BTW, I do like the sticker idea.

Wise one? Definitely! That's why I don't want anymore transfers to the bank. It's a pain.

Sorry no. I've turned down others already.

Put it on the uniform above company wing ón monday and already 5 colleagues and 3 pax have asked me most enthusiastically: "so you're a ppruner as weel huh, what's your username then?"
Bit tricky that one ;)
Have considered impersonating Slasher but it would look a bit odd for a woman. :)

Great fun these badges people, so don't hesitate and get your money in the mail!

One thing though, be very careful when putting on your jacket, the little bit on the back of the badge does not tolerate rough handling! http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/eek.gif

I had breakfast with Freddie Laker at sparrowsf@rt this morning in FLL prior to the inauguaral service FLL-NAS ... he wanted to know what PPRuNe was after seeing my badge!

Damn it Guvnor, you've totally confused me now. I've been convinced for months that you WERE Freddy Laker...!

- P.

Cheque sent Wednesday, badge arrived Friday - what service!

Thanks IFR for all the hard work.

How about PPRuNe baseball caps?

Badge, Sticker, Baseball-cap ok, but please no PPrune on underwear, I've got enough on it already!

Hmmm Stickers, flight bags, baseball hats, flight jackets? Why hasnt anyone come up with the bright idea of leasing an old 732 and 'sticking' pprune on the side????????

Now THAT would attract attention! Think of the hits the site would get then!!!
