The Ghost of TED
 
At DEN the other day, I noticed at the departures curb for skycap check-in a lonely, battered, round sign that says:

Check in here.
Yes, here.


Those in the know would recognize this as a sad reminder of the "glory" TED days.

Rar.

What's amusing is that the sign is intended to be playful, but if you imagine a harried LAX agent pointing at it and muttering, it's anything but. "Oh for chrissa… ma'am check in here. Yes, here. Idiots." :)

In my stash of future eBay fodder I'll put up for sale, I have a poster of a Ted plane wearing a birthday hat celebrating it's 2nd birthday.

And I have a little stuffed bear wearing a Ted t-shirt.

At the PHX airport last month on the sign that listed the airlines for the United terminal it also listed Ted as an airlines. Reminded me how happy I was to be flying regular mainline PHX-ORD.

The shuttle bus from the economy parking at IAD still says (it's a recording) "TED" as one of the airlines for the terminal.

Yeah, the Hertz shuttle bus ride at DEN still has an announcement that the first stop is for American Airlines, Lufthansa, United Airlines, T-E-D Airlines, Air Canada, and British Airways.
