You deserve to be. You guys built something together. Sure you're going to hurt when it's gone. Hope to pull the gear for you soon.

Thanks Zap. Being former 121 you've always "gotten it" and thus I really appreciate the kind words. I'm confident that I speak for a lot of AT pilots when I say that we wouldn't feel so sad had the whole integration been handled FAIRLY.

I never realized how good of a product we had from a customer's standpoint until recently when so many have approached me and said they'll miss it.

Oh well, even the great Southwests and Deltas of today will be gone at some point. It's the nature of the industry.

Thanks for the rides guys! Got several friends there. I'll miss seeing the paint around the ATL. Well except for that creepy faced Elton John one.

And the Ravens one. Everybody hates the Ravens, duh.

And that plane had an issue: it could only be loaded from the rear.
