The complete and utter failure to have a transition plan during construction (and through peak) should have gotten somebody in hot water. This has been a complete failure.

I think the end result will be an improvement - if we can get there without an accident.

Couldn't agree more -- complete failure. Who is responsible for this buffoonery? Chief Pilot?

I don't know what you are talking about. I got a great nap in a broken recliner beneath a spot light next to a door that opened and closed every few minutes... not to mention hearing flt coordination making unnecessary announcements every 30 seconds...

Never been so rested in my life!

Don't forget the vending machine, with the sodas dropping to the bottom and the coins being put into the machine.

Maybe our FedEx Flight Management Team should have imported these instead:

Recliner update: Now most of the recliners in the sleep room are cracked on one side resulting in about a 15 degree list. Kind of like trying to sleep on a sailboat. Plus there is the added bonus of getting a pretty good ab workout when you try to right the chair. I'm pretty sure they are about ready to completely give way. When I get injured by a collapsing recliner do I qualify for disability???

The funniest thing is watching the cheap xxx's that use them as a crash pad and still set up shop in the them out in the open. It looks like they are in line to buy concert tickets!
