I completely understand.  You've provided us with an invaluable perspective through your outside observation which enabled us to clarify this perception. Thanks for your support and understanding. I hope we might have the opportunity to one day welcome you back to the ENA family as a member. Until then, we will continue to serve your interest as an emergency nurse with great devotion.

Sorry, but with economic times the way they are, this intro is over the top and reminds me of how the auto executives were clueless... Maybe ENA dues would could be affordable if there would be some fiscal restraint from its leaders. Glad I couldn't renew my membership this year because I would be outraged at this waste of money for leadership hoopla

We appreciate your comment and the fair criticism you offered based upon the impression this video left with you. We want to let everyone that the airplane is a permanent theater stage prop at the hotel/convention center where Leadership Conference 2009 took place. As a result, the prop/entrance was offered at no additional charge. Further, we felt the plane was appropriate given the conference theme of "Soar - Aspire to New Heights" .
