The old man is retiring

Hey AC folks. My old man retires off the A330/340 on June 1st after a 34 year career. Just curious if there are any family perks that the company allows for a final flight. Does ACPA or AC have a person that you can talk to set something up. Always liked the idea of a water cannon salute for a send off. Any insight would be great - its amazing how time flys. Send me a private message if you would prefer.

Cheers

Tyler

You can't have both?

How about a big water gun salute at my big party? Everyone is invited. The girls will be in white tank tops. It will be in 2032.... or 2027 if my freedom 55 comes together.

Not sure I'll know what to do with a girl in a wet tank top, by 2032

Do you really think your dad is going to want to be fired out out of a water cannon on his last day of work?

He can have both. The company will have the party and as for the water cannon, well, Marty will take care of that one I guess.

I always thought it would be cool to finish your last flight and walk through those smoked glass doors in T1 to see all your friends and family there with champane and balloons - cheering and applauding.

Yeah... and then yell ' Everybody down... HE'S GOT A GUN

'
I've always wanted to do that.
