Cranky, thank you for honoring these individuals and former co-workers. I was working for UA on 9/11.

There were other employees that passed away on 9/11. On UA’s flights there were a couple of non-revs traveling including a SYD station employee. I know there was at least one other and possibly more using their flight benefits. I am sure these names are included in the regular passenger manifests. I don’t know about AA’s flights.

I flew from Austin through Dallas to RDU today and was impressed with the minute of silence announced in Austin and the announcement by the lead flight attendant on American flights requesting that we pause to remember those lost on that day. Certainly the crews deserve special mention. Thanks for honoring them

Thanks for doing this. I had the pleasure of meeting the parents of Sara Low and the sister of Betty Ong from AA 11 a couple years ago at an airline family assistance conference in ATL. It makes such a difference to hear the stories behind these peoples’ lives, to recognize they were daughters and sons, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers…and friends.

Thanks Brett. My thoughts today are with the families of all those lost or injured 7 years ago.
