Just to change the subject...

I had the pleasure of riding the aft 757 F/A jumpseat home this morning, with a crew of new hire F/A's!! Three of the 4 were on their FIRST TRIP! And the Senior Mama was hired last October!

What a great time I had talking with them. So full of excitement, and youth, and hope, with smiles all over their faces. So young, so pretty, so thin and so happy to be there!

Oh to be a 26yr. old new hire pilot again!!

I have not seen four F/A's like that on the same airplane in about 20+ years!

I'm seriously thinking of bidding back to Domestic!

Let me look at those 717 trips again....oh...wait.
