This was our last one. - Ron Butler (5/6/07) G MACKIE Station agent seniority date of 5/13/63, emp# 05424, 1/1/86 FL/ALEA seniority list. -Jake Lamkins (11/6/07) Started March 13, 1961........ ......LBB I was a "Ramp Rat" or "Inside Rampy" per Max and Rusty....... ......... .BUT none of you had more fun than ME !!!!!!!! Worked with some of the greatest people in the world--don't have room to mention everyone, Pilots, F/A's, Agts, Managers, Acorn Eaters, VP's and even Presidents (except a short one). 2AM, Sunday August 24 1986, Mr Joe called and said he could not get in touch with the MGR (TUS), for me to go to the airport, put up a sign "OUT OF BUSINESS.... SEE UA OR CAL FOR YOUR TRAVEL NEEDS". Nice, huh? Told to send the RON AC out and not let any passengers on (right, did not see those 25 or so NRs) Saluted that thing out and then it finally sunk in-----IT's over. Went to work for CDG which later was absorbed by Continental. Retired in 2005, now have a B.... of job, picking up golf balls, etc. Tee Hee Hee......... ........Love ya. -Gary Mackie (8/27/08) Gary, what did CDG stand for? I've seen it before but never heard. -Jake Lamkins (8/27/08) Jake..... Stood for "Cargo Development Group", was a "Frank Lorenzo" ('member him?) way to get money off of Continental Cargo contracts after their Chapter 11 in '83. It was a new Corporation formed with old CAL employees. Was not part of CAL, so as a former FAL that took severance, he could go to work for CDG and get passes and benefits from CAL. CDG was a wholly owned company by CAL. Sounds like him, huh.....ha -Gary Mackie (8/27/08) Gary D. Mackie Station agent seniority of 3/13/61 on the 1/1/62 CN/ALEA seniority list. He must have gotten in management somewhere along the way and lost some time since the 1/1/86 FL/ALEA seniority list has him at 5/13/63. -Jake Lamkins (8/27/08) Hi Gary, I got a message for you from Bill Wayne's daughter Vanessa at our FLacebook page after announcing Rusty's flight west: "Will you please tell him that the bratty daughter that was always late and he had chaperone to the gate says hello and sends a big hug for all the times he helped me out! He was always so kind to me." I told her you were on Facebook and gave her your eddress. Take care, -Jake Lamkins (1/4/18) Hey Jake...we still kicking - haven't heard anything lately? -Gary Mackie (5/24/21) Yep, got vaxxed and out and about again.

He was the BEST dad my brother and I could've ever asked for and I'm so very blessed he was ours!! He was a devoted husband to my momma for 50+ years and a great Papa to Peanut!! He fought cancer hard for the last 18 months of his life but he lived a great life for 83 years! If you knew him, you know he was a funny, outgoing, kind hearted human who was fun to be around. He loved to make people laugh and smile. To say that our family is devastated is a complete understatement and he will be missed every day!! Rest In Peace, daddy!! Until we see you again you will forever be in our hearts! Love you so very much!!
