Don’t forget the crowds, lines and KCM as of late… Doors, uniforms and this latest generation of pax. Did I mention the crowds. Good for the flesh mover side which is great no doubt, but it was one thing I will truly miss = our own airport worldwide. Initially quite eerie, but it didn’t take long to enjoy some benefits. The little things add up to exhaustion as well. Herding cats. Some folks enjoy crowds and traffic thankfully.
*Must admit I am not privy to actual heavily optimized schedules of UPS/Pax carriers. I can only hope not to be enlightened.
