@RobertGavinTU Congratulations, Rob. You take some great clips with you. You’ve done everything we might have hoped back when you joined our newsroom. The job you’re filling has always attracted terrific reporters (mostly TU alumni!) and I’m sure you will prove to be no exception to that.

@kdewitt7 Classic Karen Dewitt understatement: “a fabulous ride.” That’s a fact. But you’ve given us much more. Thank you, Karen, and congratulations. Welcome to the great next chapter (and to the LCA Alumni Association).

Hey @SouthwestAir entire flight of baggage on 3027 BWI to MCO has gone missing. Waiting for almost an hour and airport has no idea where the bags are. This after no internet access to movies and a very UN-Southwest (ie, unfriendly) flight attendant. No more. Where are all bags?
