We need "a tradition to remember" to breed pride and brotherhood. I wish I was there to shake your hand at the ceremony. The beer is catered but I love buying beer for anybody in my circle. Was at the last eightball and we rolled it to the bar after. Little hard waking up the next day but fun times were had.

Btw...we are good peeps. We all worked hard and deserve to be respected as professionals of one of the largest airlines in the world. It's not perfect nor or we but it is a good job to say the least. Welcome aboard squid from a jarhead!
