I was a humble groundhog Teresa, but all you say rings true.
Those that knock now do not know an Airline that stood beside them instead of one that stands behind them with a knife in hand.
The old TN days were just as good as the EW days, and I would not trade the time with either Airline for anything.
If you don't get a tear in your eye when an aeroplane you have worked on departs for the last time then you just don't get it.
It's a "legacy Airline thing - you wouldn't understand".
Best all
