Also, congratulations to the crew ans staff of CO for their exceptional service. Most of the time we associate awards with the airline yet fail to mention that it is the efforts fo the crew and staff that make this happen.

Anyway, this is great news! With the current health of the U.S. airlines it is great to see some of our carrirers be recognized!
