Was Glenn there in person to celebrate this milestone?? If so, surprised no one helped him with a 'bit of cake in the face' that afternoon.
Aye young ladde,
The wee little United guppy made it's last flight as it hop "scotched" across the country flying from hub to hub. Not sure if Mr. tilton, et al made an appearance. I have been told when he is on a UAL flt, he does NOT make an appearance in the cockpit. Celebrations abound at each stop until the ol' lass was parked at the SFO maintenance hangar.
Then the gen pop was told in a Dr. Seuss' way, why, the public didn't like the guppy, why, it was too inefficient at 2600 lbs per hour, why, believe what we say and ignore the fact that Southwest Captains make $206 per hour.
Aye, even SAMC has had his kilt ruffled enough to post above. Pat Patterson and Bob Six must be rolling over in their graves sipping on some 25yo Glendronach as they watch their airlines struggle.
