Some of my more interesting FlightMemory lines were from flights I had on Great Lakes out of DEN in 2001.

I'll need to check because it was always Beech and I was suprised in December when there was an FA but I was so tired that I got on the plane and went to sleep and didn't double check. Very un Ft, I know. I'll get back to you Monday night.

FlightAware shows that all of the flights between DEN and EAR are in fact operated with the Brasilias.

LOL
But seriously , I forgot about that whole new fiasco.
The Giants owners and execs issued statements about how the decision to implement the PSL was soo dificult to make , but it had to be done to finance the 1.6 billion Dollar stadium.
A bunch of nonsense if you ask me , and I don't even have season tickets.

Haha, no worries. Just kind of surprised, since I've never heard of an airline flying a FA around on the Beech. Every flight I've had on one had no FA, regardless of the airline.

I did fly on one Great Lakes flight on a Brasilia with a FA in 2001, on CPR-DEN. The plane was one of the most beat up looking planes I've ever flown in, and they had taken out the galley, leaving a big open space right up front. However, they couldn't be bothered to put in new wall panels where the galley was removed, so there was exposed insulation and wiring that would have once been behind the galley unit. :eek: Since there was no galley, there was obviously no service in flight. All the FA did was make a few announcements and do the safety demo, and then sit there and stare at us throughout the flight. He appeared to be in his late 60s, and told my coworker he was retired and doing this just for the fun of it.

Just thought I would mention that the new Blue Bell Candy Jar ice cream flavor is great.

It is actually a mix, depending on the day of the week or some other factor that I cannot quite figure out.

I stand corrected - thank you. :)

I had a FA on a Beech between somewhere and Santa Barbara. Abbreviated service, but service nonetheless.

Now that I think of it, I had two seats to myself, so not a Beech:) And no bump in the middle!

Where in the world did they put the jump seat?

I have no idea - I thought it a bit bizarre and was surprised to have service. Maybe she had 1a?

Ah yes, the bump in the middle of the aisle. Even better are the seats by the bump that have the wing struts under them taking up valuable foot and leg space.

I believe it was part of United Express. It was perhaps 7 years ago.

Sorry meant to edit my post not reply to yours - I think I've had a bit too much champers tonight :)

Good luck with the interviews.

I have not quit my job yet... I am flying back to PHL on Sunday evening. I moved almost everything of mine here. My current employer knows I am leaving as soon as I find a job down here. The fiance has been here for a year now. I work in TV news - behind the scenes.

Speaking of the interviews. They both went well. I was offered the job at one place. The paycut is significant. I'm mulling over the offer. The second interview went well, but they want to interview more candidates. So, no offer there.

Houston needs an NHL team. I don't want to drive (or fly) to Dallas to see my NHL team play.:mad: The Toyota Center would be perfect for an NHL team.

Talking about ice cream, does anyone recently spot "Krazy Kolors" flavor at The Little Creamery located at terminal E? (Or anywhere else?)
