I wish my mom and dad would have signed me up for the FF program!
I, like you,
SS255, wonder if I would still love them if they were around today...
I wish mine had signed me up earlier.
I remember flying EA to Disneyworld when I was almost 5. The "steward" gave me and my 3-year-old brother each a set of wings......and a little, white plastic airplane to share.
I also recall that they had big seats in Y. Or maybe that was just my perspective, since I was a kid at the time. (The seats did not seem as big when I was in college.
