I remember meeting a lot of the East crews at BS West in Scottsdale. You guys were a blast! A few good after parties at the Valley HO too!!

Oh my! OH my. No Easties would be able to go there, unless they pay a hefty taxi ride??? I loved the British Airways folks to, what a hoot! Maybe they were Wet leasing you guys at the time??

Oh what a mess, one of the best 37 hour layovers I've ever had. If they knew the things that went on in that car!!! The last time I was there (like 4 years ago) I asked if I could borrow AA's crew car because it has power windows. I felt so debonair while motoring around the Province of Ontario!!!!

 

[Travelpro72]

I was part of the crew that worked the last mainline flight out of SDF on the F-100 to PIT. The cabin crew, pilots and many airport workers all gathered in f/c and gave the finger for a photo. I wonder what ever happened to that picture. And DAY....I believe the hotel was the Holiday Inn by K-Mart that had the steam showers? It was either DAY or TOL

Speaking of "DAY as a hub"... how about the popcorn in the little country store there as you entered the US concourse? As a pax who connected there plenty, I kept seeing the crews take it aboard and smelling how good it was, so I finally had to ask where they got it.
