The most engaging life I've ever had

exciting, fun, a little intimidating, definitely worth it.

Chautauqua

So I finally got around to researching my company's name. According to dictionary.com it is most likely a Seneca Indian word meaning "one has taken out fish there" As stated by an educated Seneca, Dr. Peter Wilson. Other meanings given by The Standard Dictionary of Facts: History, Language, Literature, Biography, Geography, Travel, Art, Government, Politics, Industry, Invention, Commerce, Science, Education, Natural History, Statistics and Miscellany (talk about a comprehensive book) are: foggy place, bag tied in the middle, place where a child was washed away, place of easy death, and place where one was lost. (C) 1909 The Frontier Press Company Buffalo NY.
hahahahaahahahaha
So in terms of good airline names it lists right between ridiculous and absolutely horrid.

"Oh yes, I'm flying on place-where-one-was-lost airlines" "It's a foggy place of easy death!"

No worries folks, I have yet to be lost in the fog or see anybody die on our planes.

One would think that they would consider what's in name... :)

Hehe. I'm glad I work for a company that doesn't really have a hidden meaning to its name.

Seriously, though, that is rather amazing about a few of those choices for the names. :P
