Edit: I see you mentioned crew....now I get it. One bottle for all those people is a little weak sauce though. Better buy 3 or 4 bottles. You might need a couple green slips between now and then.

Hopefully my fini trip is a Paris one, think I can swing it, my wife and kids and crew will hopefully enjoy that bottle with me. It will certainly be an emotional time.
I think that will be a fitting end to my years here and I can't think of any other way to "celebrate" that than with my two families. We'll see if I can pull it off when that time comes. This was certainly one cool way of sending yourself off though, not gonna lie!

As was said, wrote a book about flying Vipers, finished the Boston Marathon at 60 on a completely torn hip, etc. OBTW, a good captain and great guy on the layo!

I can't wait to see how the guy in SEA who cashed in PB days and banked a $200K month tops this when he retires.
We have several A's across the system on the 330 and 350 quitely making a million+ a year with LCA pay, green slips, and thunder/PBs.
