Update on post-flight get-together: the restaurant is closed today, but we'll head over there anyway. I'll call them in the morning to confirm.

I will be flying in around 11AM on the 31st on UA618 from SFO and will be hanging out at the airport until the flight leaves.

If there is anything going on at the airport before the flight, or if anyone can guest me in at the club, please let me know. I will be bringing my camera.

Thanks.

Final Destination Check on 670

Although I did not make the last flight, I was honored to be able to do the final destination check. Yes ladies and gentlemen, that was I, and I have the Seattle agents to thank for allowing me.

Edit:
A little of a side note. I know most of you saw how I was dressed for the non-rev and trying to catch the flight. As glad as I was to give the final send off, if I was hesitant sounding during the announcement, a few things in my head happened. 1) I almost forgot where I was as the speech is usually ingrained as I repeat it over and over, 2) the camera was on me from headquarters which I noticed partway through, and 3) I was starting to get the feelings of regret and sadness that I was not on the flight. I hope it was an enjoyable flight and hope to see some of you around.

Just watched the plane pull into B7 from a vehicle on the tarmac behind it. The fire dept didn't turn on the hoses until the plane was already parked. Guess they couldn't see the plane number and it didn't pause at the lead in line. Early arrival!!

Not on the final flight but greeted Denny the other day during my ORD layover and his arrival. Had a nice little chat. Truly a great representative of the company!

kudos to oscar. if nothing else, it's obvious that he "gets" the optics of being a CEO.
