Right next to the FBO's ramp was a resturant/bar that housed plenty of arm chair quarterbacks. One of the resturant customers actually called the local FSDO because they felt that the Caravan was parking too close to the building. Eventually Airnet included in their "OpSpecs" that the pilots must park "xxx" number of feet from the building. The pilot was so fired up because of the whole thing that he started parking smack dab in the middle of the ramp. It was pretty amusing to watch all the theatrics.

Last night I was commuting home on a Dash 8. One of the passengers across from me was going nuts because we were taxiing out on one engine. That was a sight to see as well.


Sorry I've been so busy lowering the standards in the regional airline industry, it has actually crossed over and I'm bringing down the standards of APC.
