Our little group - the "dirty dozen" - went through a lot as Frontier struggled to cope with airline deregulation. When the dust finally settled we both ended up at American and salvaged something of a career. So I'm really sad to learn of Leon's passing. My thoughts are with your family today and for many days to come. -Steve Thrapp (6/15/10) L M PROKUSKI Pilot seniority date of 10/3/78 on the 9/1/81 FL/ALPA Seniority List.
