FDX nasty ramp crew room
Who is it that we can contact about a ramp that has no recliners?
Some of our "pilot areas- take philly" are nasty. Is their anything management will do? The have stepped up as the police in other areas. Areas where only a small % are concerned : sick,mil, jump seat etc. But a real issue that affects all pilots who use a ramp facility for rest and work goes unstressed?

Only fill out if reporting something bad. I tried to compliment someone once and it caused all sorts of headaches.

I recently wanted to compliment the consistently above average support I get from the IAD Ramp. It's nice when you can count on a lineman, wing walkers and stairs when you arrive (no matter what time of day). I don't think that happens by coincidence, rather I suspect it's good Management.
The Ramp Manager wanted to know what they'd done wrong when I asked for his email address. I guess they don't get very many compliments?
PLEASE PROMOTE THAT GUY AND SEND HIM TO MEM!

Many moons ago, flight ops shipped new computers and monitors to most of the US ramps to replace the old crappy ones in the pilot work stations. At the vast majority of locations, the ramp manager (or similar) replaced his crappy computer with a brand new one courtesy of flight ops' budget. Apparently, having the best computer in the whole building dedicated for use by the pilots and sitting idle for 95% of the day was too much to bear. The prima donna pilots upgraded from a old crappy computer to a much newer crappy computer. I have no doubt that if flt ops bought new furniture for the Philly (or anywhere else) pilot lounge, it would find it's way into conference rooms and offices in short order. And so it goes....
