I'd occasionally listen when I was REALLY bored to work on my native impression. Could be funny on occasion.

Kind of "the chair is against the wall" message, for those Red Dawn fans. I always wondered if more than one John Charles showed up at one or more locations accross the delta to go somewhere on Hagelands. LOL.
Almost forgot about the personal messages via radio. It truly is different up there...

Alaska was very good to me, weigh your options, choose your airline wisely and play nice with the managers in the sandbox and eventually you'll move on if you so choose. There are plenty of 121 airlines up there some are hiring and some are furloughing. As for favorite memories........unloading the back of the plane in Nulato and having a local yell at me to "not disrespect my eggs," you can't make that stuff up!
HAHA!!
