Mr. Hawk..thank you for the kind comments....but it was more like my country served me.

Twenty-two years old and land a position that you fly and travel all over the world...mostly (75%) in first class on 747's and pretty much always stayed in Intercontenal hotels (Pan Am owned).

Everyone always has the same question and the answer is the flight crews (stews) were wonderful...to bad they get jerked around so to day.

Oh, I did have to spend six months flying from ATL to NYC on Pedmont...YS11's...I will doubt that anyone remembers that airplane. Five stops up and five stops back...five days a week!!

Once again, thank you and all the others, for the limited information that every one brings here.
