Of all our bloggers, I am probably the oldest, but I don’t feel my age. I was born in 1952, just a couple of blocks from the Santa Fe Railway’s main transcontinental line in Clovis, New Mexico to an airline father, so transportation (planes and trains) got in my blood at an early age. As a child, my fondest memories are spending days at work with my dad on the ramp in Amarillo, Texas and on the old observation deck at Dallas Love Field. After graduating from Southern Methodist University in Dallas as a journalism major, I got my first airline job with Delta in 1976. During my time at Delta, I worked at Dallas/Fort Worth (during three separate occasions), Detroit, Oakland, Atlanta (at the old terminal), Portland, Oregon, Paris Orly, and Dayton, Ohio. My 18½ years with Delta were split between ramp/operations and ticket counter/gates.

How many people in your office or classroom do you really know? I mean beyond the normal work or classroom interaction? I am lucky in that I get to work with a lot of creative, intelligent, and caring People, but to be honest, with most of them, I don’t know their personal disasters or triumphs. I am sure they all have both some low moments and their sweet tastes of success, just as I |

On this week’s episode of Red Belly Radio, it is an interview with the interviewer. Christi Day hosts this edition and interviews me, your regular host, about my bout with H1N1 also known as the Swine Flu. |

If Steve Heaser were here, he would say something like "direct from the Red Belly Radio Rerun Department." Unfortunately, Steve is under the weather, so we are opening the vault to replay an earlier podcast he did about the Tuskegee Airmen. Actually, this is a timely rerun because the Airmen were in Dallas this w Categories: Customers Sep 23, 2009 |

Really good suggestions, give us some time to come up with something.

My Fellow Aviation Geeks know that Southwest Airlines retired our last 737-200 on January 17, 2005. I was one of the lucky Employees (wearing pajamas designed for the event, no less) to have been selected for the hour-long flight onboard N95SW. Our flight path that day took us down to the Waco area where Captains Jim Rice and Jeff Kilponen turned the airplane around back to Dallas for the |
