There have been, over the years, a lot of "purple kool-aid" drinkers.

BUT there were also quite a few, (ask an "old guy" about "The Stick Shaker" or the "wake up and smell the coffee" brain bag stickers), of us before the flood gates opened in the early 90's trying to get a union,..ANY union (preferably ALPA) on the property.

If we stepped into a time machine and went back about 20 years, you would not recognize this place. The new blood has sure helped, no doubt about it, and I'm very glad that you're here. You are the future "old guys".

If it wasn't for for some of the old "old guys", every day here would be another day on probation and we'd still be getting up-dates that used to go something like this; "Page I-96 (bad example, no slam towards my "silver" friends intended) is no longer applicable to the FCH."

A wise sage once said, " if you forget history, you are doomed to repeat it."
