It' s hard to believe that we are at the 17th anniversary of the closing of our great little airline. 
Time waits for no one.   
When FL filed bankruptcy, I had no idea where to turn.
If you will recall, there was a glut of airline personnel out of work due to the infamous Airline Deregulation Act.  
I did attempt to seek employment with other carriers, but the story was the same. 
"Don' t call us, we' ll call you."  
Good old CO did say that they would take a close look at my application, 
but they did not have any openings at SMF.  
They said that there would probably be openings in CLE, ORD or some other city in which I had no interest.  
I was purchasing my home at the time and my wife at the time 
was gainfully employed at a local firm in SMF, so moving to another city was not an option.   
When I received the letter from CO with their offer of passes, cash or combination, 
I was so upset that I took the pittance offering and ran. 
I still don' t regret my decision.   
I will be retiring from California State Service in 11 months. 
That is if California doesn' t file bankruptcy in 11 months and we can sift through the recall ballot.  
Could this be dejavu?? At any rate, I' m going to retire. 
I' m tired of give-backs for incompetent politicians and managers.

I'm lovin' it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got back from a 10 day Cruise in French Polynesia.  
We used Air Tahiti Nui.  Talk about cramped airplanes.  
As you are well aware, I don't have long legs but I was cramped for 7 hours.
Frontier did have the best service in the air......

I'm enjoying my retirement thoroughly. 
I retired from the State of California in 2005 and 
I am very much involved with the Knights of Columbus at the State level.
I still enjoy reading items on the Old Frontier Yahoo! Webpage. 
I am so glad that I'm no longer employed in the airline industry. Too hectic!! 
Too many loops to jump thru!! Not worth the anxiety. 
It's just not the same when as when Frontier was alive and well. 
Those were days that will always be in my memory.
It's hard to believe that our airline has been history for 22 years. 
I started with Frontier in July of 1967 and remained until that fateful day in August 1986. 
If my memory serves me, it was a Sunday.  
Am I correct or has the good times of yesteryear taken its toll? 
Those years and memories will remain with me.
You are to be congratulated for keeping the memories alive.
Good luck and God Speed
