I guess with a name like Holy Cross they feel obligated to. Lol.

I could never go to a school named Holy Cross...They were our sports rivals in high school.

What exactly does that mean, Jesuit School? I know it’s Catholic. Is it run by Jesuits?

Yes. Jesuits are big into education, science, and research. But they're strict SOBs.
Actually a fascinating story if you ever are extremely bored and want to learn something historical. They were like lepers in the Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation

We had a feeder driver retire today.
No card.
No cake.
No nothing.
30 years and he punched out for the last time and no one said a word.
That sucks.

Is that how he wanted it?
Flew out of Orlando once in an MD-80 with a hot shot pilot. He came on the intercom and said he was going to avoid a bunch of thunderstorms and burn some fuel off before we got to cruising altitude.
Can you say carnival ride? I loved it!

I had a guy tell me he would just not work his last day if we threw him a little thank you party. Some guys, just don't want it.

When I came back from Australia we stopped in LAX for immigration, and then reboarded the same 747 to JFK. 14 people on the flight. It was like a gosh darn rocketship. I've literally had longer takeoffs in a prop I was flying.
I didn't want any of it, but my center manager pretty much begged me to do the cake and flowers for the wife thing.
He was a good guy, so I agreed.

I like it for the significant others. The one I went to in Minny, his wife and daughters were there. They were so proud. And it was wonderful to see them.
I don't know, but I was told MD-80s were pretty much hotrods.

Manager was on vacation for our last one, guy had 45 years of service and I had to do the speech. Everybody laughed when I said if his career was a human it could buy a beer before I was even born.

He wasn’t supposed to go until the 9th but was told he had enough time credited to where he could leave today.
He would not have liked a bunch of fanfare but I would think that a handshake and sincere thank you would have been appreciated.
