Thanks for your comments!

Thank You! One and All for your positive responses to this Trip Report. Even if this is my twentieth some odd report, it's nice to hear from you and I'm sure I speak for every trip reporter out there when I say your comments are really very much appreciated! So again, Thanks!

Enough people have suggested that I create a book out of my Trip Reports that I've decided to contact some folks to at least see what might be involved in making that a reality.

I print and store in binders copies of all my reports. I put the reports in Word, shrink the print to Verdana #8 and print on both sides of the paper. I was looking at them all the other day. There's over 3" of pages, so no doubt there'd be enough to support a book.

Anyway, we'll see what kind of costs are involved and next time someone recommends I create a book, I'll have some sense of costs to offer. Honestly, I've never thought there'd be enough interest in my reports to offset the costs of creating a book. Then again, if the Trip Report moderators and Randy wanted to consider publishing a "Best Of Trip Reports" type book, I suspect there'd be considerably more interest.

If any of you feel strongly about this, feel free to submit your thoughts and ideas to Randy and/or our moderators.

Thanks, airoli. Besides describing the tangible details of the service, I also try to transmit the intangibles of my enjoyment of air travel. Your company, as well as that of any others who dare admit their unbridled enjoyment of the inflight experience, is more than welcomed here in the looney fringe element.

This comment made my day! Thanks, ph-ndr, and here's hoping We'll see both you and your girlfriend up front someday soon.
