It's been a fantastic experience

[Michael Natale]

Wanted to just thank everyone here at the AAV for making my time here enjoyable. As a check airman, Asst Hub Mngr in JFK and Hub Mngr at KORD I have had the pleasure of interacting with some wonderful people here and I have enjoyed sharing the passion of flight. I am retiring from active service here at the AAV to be fair to those requiring more attention than I can give right now. I am hopeful to get PSP as a HUB where you will find me active from time to time. At this point I'm off for training at a Regional Airline to try and do this for real lol. If all goes to plan, I will be at the front seat of AA livery early next year.

My Best to you all and a special thanks to Management who helped me along the way!!

Michael, thanks for your service to AAV. We'll miss your presence here but hope great success for you in that other , un-virtual, world of professional aviation. Hope the professionalism AAV stands for and teaches will help you in your journey.

Check in once in a while to let us know how it's going.

Live the Dream!

Thank you very much for your contributions here at AAV. You were both a great hub manager and fellow pilot. I wish you the best of luck to your future endeavors. I wish I could follow in your footsteps and fly for real myself, but I have a couple major setbacks.

[Theodore Martin]

I'm so glad to hear about your opportunity and I hope it all goes well for you. Thanks for your contributions to this VA and I'm looking forward to hearing your airline flight stories and experiences in a year. Please stop by when possible and give us virtual pilots an idea of what it's like to be an airline pilot in the real world.

Study hard and good flying....
