From the linked article about the rudder incident:
"I was thinking to myself, I'm the senior captain and I'm uncomfortable with the thought that when we get to Anchorage, if we're lucky enough to get to Anchorage, that it's very possible that we may have to bend this thing up, putting it back on the ground. Being the senior captain, bearing the responsibility, if anyone is going to scratch my airplane I want it to be me."
Awesome example of a senior leader taking charge in a chips down crisis.

Just waiting for Kalitta to buy it, "mint condition"
Kalitta's still got it money tied up into bidding for that "minor dings and scratches" British Airways 777 sitting in Las Vegas.
"Sure it's got a lot of miles, but the little old lady that just drove it to church, only on sundays, went to a Pentacostal church 800 miles from her house"

There is an entire 747 Section 41 in Northwest colors sitting in the Smithsonian Air and Space museum in Washington D.C. FWIW.
When did you start flying 737's?
