Yeah, no kidding. It is sad, you go to CVG and they're hooking up electric as the aircraft is coming to a stop ... the air comes on seconds later. But we're going to shut down that base and layoff all those hard workers.
I can also second the previous poster's comments on MEM. I was just there on my last rotation and we never received air despite us calling several times. I kept the APU running.
This isn't a fnwa bash. We have LGA and JFK ... both cesspools in my opinion. I too blame management as I feel they've hired all the wrong individuals for these jobs. The same can be said for the ATL ramp controllers. Was anyone there last night? ATL was in meltdown mode on a Sunday ... no weather ... no IROPs. Absolutely amazing. But that's what we get for operating the World's busiest airport.
