I was riding in first class one day while talking with a very senior DAL captain's wife. (in early 2000) She said all of her husbands friends used to make fun of him because he worked at DAL and not Eastern like them. Something to think about. TWA, EAL, and Pan Am used to be the places to be. Makes you wonder about SWA, FEDex, and UPS in thirty years. i hope they do great but some of the comments i read from some SWA guys would give me pause.
