i got one for ya. today, walking through the security checkpoint at iad and this chick who looks like she was right out of high school stops me and says, "trans states? i've never heard of them. do you have a ticket counter?" i say, "yeah, its called united." and she says, "well, i have never heard of your airline, so you cant come through here." my captain, standing at the metal detector, says, "are you kidding? we've been flying out of here for five years." to which she responds, "i dont care, ive never heard of you and you dont have a ticket counter." he then says, "can we see your supervisor please?" she yells out, "supervisor"

anyways, long story short, shes never heard of trans states or chataqua (sp?) so my crew plus one other have to wait until the supervisor shows up and verifies we are real airlines. ignorance is not an excuse.
