Very few companies, including airlines, have carafes of free coffee just laying around wherever there's counter space.

You wouldn't believe how much coffee we wasted every night. I remember when I RON a Q400 I think I emptied an average of three full coffee canisters. Starbucks coffee don't come cheap. Did they ever install those nestle crunch cigars again? Man those were good.

I'm surprised that working at QX hasn't made you start drinking. On a bright note the new LAX hotel looks nice but don't tell that to the higher ups, it will disapear and we will be stuck in El Segundo.

The Hacienda isn't that bad. I'd rather hang out at Stick and Stein than any of the fancy hotel bars on Century. I love ES....

I was at Horizon for almost 8 years. In my opinion, as far as regionals go, Horizon Air is the best. However, I suggest to anyone that has the minimum quals to do so, get to FedEx, UPS or SWA in that order ASAP. I'm at FedEx now and believe me, the grass is greener over here. If FedEx would've turned me down, I probably would have stayed at Horizon.
p.s. Sorry about the Furloughs guys, that blows.
