I do miss my usual stomping grounds (that we've given away to Alaska), Cancun, PVR, Mexico City, etc. All in all, its cool. I think we're all learning our new system. When I de-iced in MSP awhile back I was frikking amazed. What a system! Sure beats the Hell out of our stuff at CVG, LGA and ATL. Well done!
Buzz, are you still LAX73n? when i was there, we took pride as the only category who rarely had to use ATL plates. I guess times changed, huh? All those 27 hr. layo at PVR, CUN, SJU, MEX, GDL sure will be missed!
