After my Dad passed away a few years ago my Mom started to trvl by herself. She's not young anymore and I worry alot about her on a daily basis but much more so when she trvls. It's probably just habit that I worry(the Mama in me) because those of you who work on the frontlines have been more than gracious to her EVERY time she has trvld! She just trvld Srq to Clt this week on flght 2610 and there was an african american f/a who just made her laugh. She very much enjoyed her personality and sense of humor. Hula helped in a previous situation and Coach is just a wonderful person! Our preferred have been a joy to get to know and I am trvling a little so I am meeting and on my way to meet some more of my coworkers. Thats what really makes me sad. If this airline implodes due to internal strife it will be the many of you who have made some sleepless nights enjoyable by your many posts, whatever they may have been, the ones I will miss. Its like seeing an old boyfriend, you dont remember all the bad but mostly the good times. I know that will be the case if anything happens to this airline. I know the pilot integration is a difficult mergers because it affects so many lives in so many ways. I have declined to comment because those of you who have been directly affected need to comment without those of us whose lives will not be affected by this decision. Thankx for letting me say all this and again thanks for helping my mom. Mama
