Frontier/Republic

And yes, it applies to any airline. Doesn't matter which market segments served

Given the selection process and what gathers at the top of regional lists, you're absolutely right. Many would make the cut, but there are some real doozies. I keep hearing your name, speaking of.

Oh, Heavens, No. All of the folks at Delta are pure hat wearing, sin free, perfect aviators.

They are very rare... less than 1% in my experience. Only one in 7 years that I've really disliked flying with, and he's walking a thin line on being fired. One more slip up by him and bye...

Many of us are not perfect (I for one), but many of us have cut our teeth on instructing, hauling freight, and flying air ambulance (I for one, ten years of commercial flying before I reached the holy 121 world).

Still, I can't seem to wear a double breasted suit correctly.
