I just call them from over the City and tell them I'll be pulling in off of B, clear the way to the gate, make sure that guy has his hand on the button for the green light and go ahead and call the hotel van for me, Skippy. Never a problem at KSEA, or anywhere else I go.

Since I don't use flaps, trim, or radar and leave the packs on the APU on 24/7, the after landing check goes real fast and managing traffic, well that's Skippy's problem.

With all due respect,
Charles Norris

... my friends call me Chuck, but I don't have friends, just ACL65 and he calls the ramp on his cell phone before he even leaves Kennedy.
