We're Back - And We Remember
We've been pretty silent the last few months - Combination of our day job really hitting us hard, and the fact that it was a great summer weather in Chicago. If you're from Chicago - you know you have to really maximize the summers in order to slog it through the 8 months of crappy winter hits.
However, FMV had a really interesting conversation the other day that we thought we should share.
We were flying on Weds (Sept. 10th) and sat next to a older couple who kindly asked "do you fly often?" We said "all the time - what about you?". She responded - "Well, this is our first flight since 9-11 since we were pretty scared about air travel, but they seem to have it pretty under control now.."
It took us a few minutes for that to sink in - and kind of amazing that it took SEVEN YEARS before this couple decided that they should get moving again. Those of us in the airline business prolly forget about things like that.
We actually flew on 9-18, the next week after the attacks - and we can still remember how tense it was. It's a world different now, but we guess it shouldn't be taken for granted. We remember and we guess it's time for us to get moving as well.
We're back to doing posts, and hopefully some interesting stuff will hit so we don't have to work too hard during halftimes of Bears wins !!
