Was there any fanfare at the gate at all? I heard there's a party somewhere in PIT.

I heard there is a party at a bar called "The Hangar"...I guess it is near the airport in Moon township...not sure...

Party or no party. I held my head up high as a former MAA (not MDA, those are *Jerrys Kids*) employee. I never regretted working there one bit and in fact, the only regret I have is leaving there for a mainline position (from which I was subsequently furloughed).

We played hard, we lived hard, and we worked hard. We never got the respect we deserved because we frightened the mainliners. Why? We did it faster, cheaper, and just as safe.

I guess it can be said that we were the Rodney Dangerfield of US Airways and never got any respect. Good luck to you all. I'll be watching from home (and still looking for work)
