It is crazy to think that one has been with one airline for 15 years. I have flown and still fly with other VAs; however, I ALWAYS tell people... at the end of the day DVA is where HOME is.
Thank you to the many people that have still stuck around ... Terry, Jim, Oliver, Luke, Kyle C - to name a few. The is a great VA and I am proud to be part of it.
Keep growing guys. Keep the blue side up....and God bless!!
Regards,
