Dave,

It's been a short time working with you, but I'm glad I had the chance!  Thanks for all the help when I was starting out.  I won't forget it.

I deal with this all the time real world, albeit at a smaller regional airport where opposite direction operations don't have as much of an impact.  But it's true, pilots tend to want the easiest/fastest route and many times, it's not the runway in use.  We either approve it if we can or it gets denied.  But, especially where there's no ATC involved, I would agree it's the pilot's prerogative, and not necessarily something anyone should have a say in (except ATC, if online)... even if it is an inconvenience.

Thanks guys!  Lloyd, definitely looking forward to working with ZFW!

Always good to see another rw join the ranks... one more bullet to prove I'm not crazy to the rest of the tower!  

Welcome Amanda!
