Default Time to say goodbye!

Anyhow, after all the years with Ellen, Sheryl,
Tadjr, Bill Mattocks, Greg, Mihir Shah, Malcolm Wier, Miguel Cruz, Mike
Cordelli, DALing, and, yes, JF, its time to bid farewell.


*Sigh*. Those names bring back some memories or two.

I've often wondered in the past few years, since she vanished, if Ellen has
ever used her untouched and brand new kitchen and appliances as yet.? :-)
I'd like to think she still dines out every night in PHL.
(For that matter, does she fly at all anymore now it's almost impossible to
smoke???!!!! LOL.)

Did Tadjr ever survive all the cuts at US?

Is GateA1 still holding court with his beloved CO in CLE ??

Does JF still have problems with his bike box ??

Malc still haunts alt.travel.uk.air on the odd occasion.
Craig Welch's biting & witty one liner retorts are also sorely missed.
Helen Rose, the bloke from Boeing Engineering/Technical, Gord
Beaman, Erik "the Red" G3 [ :-) !!] - the list goes on.

A true shame the characters and fun that used to be R.T.A. have
vanished and keep vanishing. Wasn't life much simpler when the
only post on the board that caused universal angst was the infamous
"How much is gas in your area?" thread. LOL.
These days, take your pick on dud threads.
I even miss the Sheryl & Ellen stoushes - the thrust and parry, the
cut throat exchanges both ladies parried with such finesse. :-)

And so, yet again, a water cannon salute as another pulls away from
the R.T.A. terminal for the last time and retires.

Blue Skies to you ITRADE & Cheers.
