From Al’s Facebook page:
“Today marks the 2nd time in my life that I have retired. 21 years in the Navy and now 20 years at Southwest Airlines. I opted for the (slightly) early retirement package that was offered and am happy to know that I no longer have to live out of a suitcase! Over 16,000 hours flying the 737, about 10,000 miles flown each week (including commuting from Montana to Oakland, Chicago or Denver), and tens of thousands of happy passengers delivered safely to their destinations.”
