I flew Olympic once. I'm convinced that the reason they don't participate in any major FF programs is because anybody who puts in meaningful miles on them ends up with lung cancer, unable to fly anymore.

Seriously...the most health-conscious thing you can do on Olympic is to bring three packs of Marlboro Reds onboard and start burning 'em as soon as the wheels are up. At least then, you are inhaling through a filter.

Just reading this thread is giving me a little bit of a secondhand contact buzz.
