I'm not a pilot, but I was working in airport ops @ PBI, assigned to terminal duties, when the last scheduled Eastern Airlines flight arrived. It was a DC-9. I had walked up to the a/c door on the jetway. As the passengers deplaned, they were all encouraging the crew and wished them well. All the FA's were in tears. I remember seeing the eyes of the CA & FO starting to well up. It was an emotional moment; one that I'll never forget.
