I hear ya. My last day is burned in as well. Not because I got escorted out, but the flight itself. I was down in MCO on the 737-200. On the last leg, the CA makes a PA about this being my last flight, furloughed, 9-11 etc, etc. Well, either something got lost in translation or those old 737's PA systems were so bad that the folks only heard a word here or there. At any rate, as I stood in the door saying goodbye, almost every pax was congratulating me and or wishing me luck. My best guess is that they either thought I was moving on to better things, or that I was military and was going to go fight. At the time, all I could think was, "What the heck is going on?" I basically just got fired, and am being congradulated for it!?? Weird to say the least.
