Delta: Glory Lost and Found
Can we get a wind check? And its just light chop.

And we have Captain Jorrrrrrr-guh/“Hollywood”

FedEx: The World on Time
Tom Hanks has a part in a movie about us.

United: ?
We’re busy Un-Jeffing ourselves and arguing about calling a 737 a guppy when we’re not beating people up and dragging them off.

American: ?
Half of us feel we saved TWA, the other half are still ****ed off about the Nicolau

UPS: ?
We wear brown uniforms while cash our giant pay checks.

Southwest: ?
We had our own show about us. If you get a chance to ride on a Friday night BUR-LAS “stripper flight”, do it

Agreed.

There could also easily be a “Flying the Line” Volumes 3-5.
