I know this is somewhat off topic, but we lost some AMAZING people during this "early out". Our #2, 3 and 4 in seniority F/A's all are leaving. Between these gals, they have 126 years of service to the company. They were all truly legendary. Here is a little story on them, in case anyone is interested.
