Just wow! Thanks for that scenario.
I must say I have gotten on flights at the last minute when I flew by myself - S4 - because groups did not want to spit up so I will finally be on the other side of the coin..Karma

but thanks again for painting the realistic picture for what may lie ahead. I have been mentally preparing the kids, they are teenagers with cell phones, facebook, text messaging, internet and mp3 players to keep them busy

As for my wife, thanks for the good luck wish, she is still in training. This is completely different from any other job she has held so it may be a little challenge for her but it's something she wants to do so she'll be fine
