Memories! Lots of them. My wife (before we were married) was in New York on business and returned to DCA the day Allegheny (SP?) became US Air (now US Airways). Her flight arrived about two hours late (that's pretty good for a less-than-one-hour flight), and I met her at the airport. Her first comment was, "Well, Agony Airlines just became Useless Air." From all reports, they've improved since then, but I don't really know.
Second memory: An Agony Air flight, New York (don't remember which airport) to BWI on (I think) a DC-9 before they put doors on the overheads. Just before landing, we crossed a weather front (to turn and land behind the storm). The bottom fell out. A passenger on the other side of the aisle still had a drink. It literally came out of the glass and created a column of liquid suspended in air. When we hit bottom, he really looked ridiculous as he tried to catch the falling drink in his glass. Everything in the overheads came out, first suspended in air, then falling on whatever or whoever happended to be below. Fortunately, there were no injuries. Funny in retrospect. Not at all funny at the time.
More to come.
