Sending a RAMP manager to MEM is worse than getting a demotion for most of them.

Apparently, having the best computer in the whole building dedicated for use by the pilots and sitting idle for 95% of the day was too much to bear. The prima donna pilots upgraded from a old crappy computer to a much newer crappy computer. I have no doubt that if flt ops bought new furniture for the Philly (or anywhere else) pilot lounge, it would find it's way into conference rooms and offices in short order. And so it goes....
All the furniture, computers, scanners, radios, etc at the outstations are hand-me downs from MEM. If an outstation needs new equipment, MEM will buy new equipment and ship their old stuff to the outstations.
If you think the pilot rooms are bad in the outstations, go look in the ramp employee rooms.
