Ross, thanks very much for the invite! I'll start working on the wife for a kitchen pass! I have really enjoyed flying with you and all those other great guys listed, I am sad to see you all going, seriously, I mean that.

You guys have treated me extremely well and taught me so much over the many years. You've been like big brothers to me. It has been one of the highlights of my career to share the cockpit and layovers with you and them, I would love it if we could keep flying together forever but as they say, all good things must come to an end.

I only hope that I can maintain the high standards of being both fun to fly with and being very competent on the flight deck, that you and they have established.

BTW, there won't be any photos taken at this party...right?

(unless of course we can get one of RA dancing on the table, wearing a skirt!)
