Again, not to make the entire O'Gram about security - but some may have valid concerns while others may just be using the lot for improper reasons. Just because you don't see it one way does not mean no one does. The O'Gram was one-way on this topic and hopefully mgmt would be willing to address those concerns. Same goes for the fit-to-fly issue - the real story is not always so black and white. Often a query is more appropriate than a beat down.

Its much more important to keep those guys in Jumpseat admin making sure you fill out that yellow jumpseat tag for your suitcase!

Let the RV's back in!

Just the threat of somebody spending the night out there might deter a thief.

I'm not kidding.....

My favorite is the "Yellow Tag Police" that stop you to make certain that you don't exit the security area with the jumpseat security tags still on your bags????

Put your hands up!

...no $hit bruddah!

...it is simply amazing how many people are associated with the jumpseat check-in process.

- One to screen bags
- One to check which flight I'm on
- One sitting in the corner out front doing nothing
- Two to remind me to put the yellow tag on
- One person to actually check me in

What union are these folks in?

They must be using professional negogiators!!
