i figured i'd find another spacecamper in this thread! and from houston, no less! the sunday afternoon ATL-HSV flights were always fun -- i remember taking a bump off of the ASA flight once, and getting put in F on the MD80 an hour later. F was me (17 yrs old), the other two people who bumped from the ASA flight, 9 op-uped UM's, and one poor medallion who had no clue what a bad idea it is to take the 1:30pm ATL-HSV on sunday. :-)

but, since this thread is about the first time, mine was ticketed on eastern HOU-ATL-HSV, six days after they folded. so the actual route was HOU-MEM-HSV, on NW, all on DC9's. i thought it was so cool that there was a mcdonald's in the memphis airport!

i also remember convincing a DL agent that yes, i really wanted to fly HSV-ATL-DFW-IAH to get on a 767 ATL-DFW.
