I still don't understand why they have four ground freqs which are mostly underused while JFK has one and you can't get a word in edgewise without being totally obnoxious. I tend to fall in the totally obnoxious category.
I try to get in, when I'm unable I remind the Captain we're paid by the hour. That's my excuse. I still get confused with the south side ground, ramp or other ramp, who do I call? 88s get a lot of slack up there though.
...because we don't care...
DTW-SEA/SFO/SAN/LAS/LAX sounds definitely like you're based there. It is a nice hub, more RJs then any hub i think but great terminal, horrible taxiways on the east side, wish they didn't have the crossing runways, but still, great place. Probably our best. I do enjoy having 2 leg last days (RDU-DTW-ATL) instead of back to ATL and penalty lap.
But I struggle with finding good food there. Taco Bell was a fail. My favorite burrito place from years ago is gone. Suggestions from DTW... or LAX 73 guys?
