I think she is based on where I found her but I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't.

Besides I've been thinking about diversifying for a while

You're the first person I've ever seen say anything negative about Jerry.
I've seen and talked to him on many occasions in ORD and DEN. He's very pleasant and humble. Answered every question we had honestly and was very truthful about his vision for SKW in the future. Say what you will about CEO's but JA is cut from a different cloth. The same cloth I'd bet Herb Kelleher was cut from.

He sat on a cabin jumpseat.

LOL. I worked for Herb for 10 years. JA is NOWHERE near Herb. Nice try though. Now run along for some more of that kool-aid.

Exactly what I was thinking. Although I've never worked a day for Herb, I've spent a couple of hours, including lunch, with him and he wasn't all that. He is one of those that won't technically lie to your face but he will purposely leave things unsaid or just skirt around the issue. I don't trust him as far as a can throw him from my standpoint as his employee. But I'm sure that shrewdness is what's made him successful so far. He is a probably a nice man outside of business settings.

Where do you keep coming up with this stuff? JA is not that "old", and I've had him in my jumpseat plenty of places other than SLC and SGU.

Keep coming up with what stuff? I'm pretty sure it's well known that he's on the verge of retirement. The rest was my own observation. Recently I've only seen him in SLC and SGU. Once in LA when he was flying LAX-SGU.

What other 'stuff' do I 'keep coming up with'?
