Don't worry about the "outback" lot (that's what the bus drivers call it). Management plans to take that away next month.

Besides, I thought that was MEM bubba personal parking. I walked in from the OB lot with a guy headed on a 10 day round-the-world trip.

Hmmm ... how come there's snow on some of those OB lot cars 10 days after a snow storm?

If they finally tow the 'landmark' vehicles I won't be able to find mine

Timing just sucks though, quite possible someone will return from a long trip to a missing car. And won't that be a fun event at Midnight, hmm, can I use my company card to pay for the 'parking' in a secured lot? Course I only get like 3 days worth,

Wouldn't it be much better to identify the problem children, get airport security to run the plates, then warn them to avoid future occurrences. I know there are times during peak where there aren't a lot of empty spots other than the various lakes.
Cold is kicking my sinuses this year, and I know the last thing I want to do is show up with wet feet after parking in a few inches of water.

How many parking spots are under water or 2-3 inches of mud in the Democrat lot? How many detours do you have to make around the Lot of 10,000 Lakes dragging your bags or picking them up to avoid the mud and water?
Why isn't there a place to wait for the bus out of the elements by the gate anymore?
But it's all about safety...

While we are at it what about all the Corp security, rent a cops and bus drivers parking in the one hour lot by the AOC.

Some of the primo spots have cars permanently "parked" in them.

Ditto what Tony said: they make us look bad.

Yeah but that bumper weed is good stuff! :D

They sort of have, these pictures have been on PFC for more than a year and was announced by FCIF when they were placed there. Wasn't that hard to look at the Pix and see your old beater sitting there in need of some TLC or a trip to the boneyard.

Pretty sure the cars mgt is speaking of are those parked adjacent to marked spots in the center lane.

Haven't checked the lines, but seemed like guys had made impromptu spots on both sides

And how tough would it be to get a name, then email or text the miscreants cell versus the way mgt is going about this

Those resources are being better spent collecting doctors notes for pilots who use their sick leave on non-holidays and during the cold & flu season

Those people were let go in order to pay for the last round of MBO bonuses ... :confused:
