Because when all of the equipment is pulled off both planes for over half an hour while you watch it from the taxiway then they're not short staffed.
the best part is when they don't answer their phones and not even dispatch can get a hold of them.
You may be right, just passing along what I have heard the few times I have been there recently. I will say it amazes me how lean we have become and how the operation still continues to run efficiently for the most part around our system. Regardless of the reasons, something should be done to get the BWI operation on par with the rest of our system.
