Of course I dreamed of “The Airline Run by Fliers”. Then Carl Icahn happened!
I got into this business in order to fly Braniff's colorful airframes and to be banging smoking hot FA's on the layovers. Needless to say I've been very, very disappointed. My beloved Braniff is gone and it's nothing but gays, grannies, and grandes. I owe a beer to my WN brother for calling a spade a spade.
