I came to FT at first because I was then taking NW every week from BNA to MSP and back, and having been delayed getting to work once by NW's pilot staffing issues, I wondered if FT might be a good source of inside information that I could use to my advantage in such situations. I've since met a few of you and spent hundreds of hours debating, joking and otherwise shooting the breeze with many more. What keeps me here more than anything is probably the opportunity to run my mouth at length with others who enjoy doing the same--so the "Talk" part of FlyerTalk is as important to me as the flying.
