American Airlines is taking a look at who they might want to merge with.

There's a story about it in USA TODAY.

MOST of the airlines we grew up with are gone now and it won't be long before they'll ALL be gone.

Speaking of gone, most of my hair is gone, teeth are gone and what isn't gone is going fast.  And they call these my "golden years"?  Think again, you snot nosed 20 year olds.

Every time I look at these young college kids with the long faces, here in the building, I have the urge to "explain" it to them.  If they think life is tough now, they ain't seen nothin' yet.
