Wow. I just had to chime in since that old quote was me. I felt just awful about it. BA didn't deserve it. Finding it is what I get for googling myself when I should be working... To answer, yes BA did keep me on for another nine years. They were the greatest PR team to work for and I loved them for putting up with me. I worked hard for them, learned a lot, and loved every minute of it. I hope I'm better suited at what I do these days, stay at home mom in Michigan. I'm at work on my third novel, the first just came out, and one of these days will write one about traveling the world. We fly NW these days and even though it's not glam like BA Club World was, I must say airline staff go out of their way to be extra kind to moms in Y class with kids! Happy trails.
