As an outsider (i.e. passenger/customer), I am enlightened to see this kind of camraderie on this forum. This is the first postive post with NO negative comments (yet). And, it will be a great way for some East/West employees to meet and talk about the nitty gritty issues each other have faced in their respective companies.
In my line of work, it's not uncommon for people to throw impromteau parties at their (or shared) expense. Since they are completely non-company sponsored, the "anything goes" attitude is alive and well..... 🙂
Have fun!!
