By doing this you not only take up the floor rack but the second rack as well. This is especially a problem now that we share the bus with Pinnacle crew members as the bus is very crowded. Twice now I've had to lug my bag up the stairs in the back of the bus because there is no room in the luggage rack.

And while I'm complaining, please don't just leave your bag in front of the rear door which blocks any entry and exit from that location.

Ahh, I feel so much better getting that off my chest. I've been carrying that around for the last couple months.

I want your life....

I'm glad I'm not the only one. That drives me absolutely crazy. What I keep trying to figure out is if they absolutely don't see that they're blocking everything. Or, if they see they're blocking everything and just don't care. Given it's MSP FA's I'm guessing the later. :confused:

The bus schedule should be beefed up, the buses were always crowded and now with the additional PCL group its worse. Talk to LH in the CPO office.

Really doesn't belong on this thread, but for those interested:

Pay the $50 a month for a zip pass at HHH, worth every penny.

Don't forget Delta Ground Services are using it now to. PS is it an unwritten rule that FA's shall never sit up top in the back of the bus and Pilots are not to sit in front with the FA's? Seems like to groups avoid each other like the plague over there. I mis our covered parking at HHH.

This thread needs more of this:

Mmmmmmmm!!!!

Not worrying about them, just trying to figure out what "major airline system" supposedly ordered the universe changing C Series that will automatically be flown by regionals because its a, you know, new type certificate and that always means outsourcing. :rolleyes:

ScarJo is an 8 that thinks shes a 10 and that makes her a 6. I applaud your epic example of spilling out side boob though. Well played, sir. Well played.

But then there is this 160 seat DCI jet:

But I have high hopes that will be taken care of naturally. High as in better than this guy that something good will happen...

I hear ya, cuz. Definately something to watch out for. Its important to note though that DL has at least appeared to indicate that its infatuation with the Alaska air group is at least not unlimited. Also Doug Parker went Ike Turner on JB's ambitions to morph into the nextgen superEagle fantasy ACMI labor buster scope solution. There is nothing revolutionary about an over priced but fairly fuel efficient narrowbody jet being operated by another airline that mandates DL or any other airline, much less many airlines*, would simply have to code share with.

*That's the wannabe model I guess. Put metal on routes and lady-of-the-night yourself to every single airline system hoping scope clauses A+B+C+X can combine to fill you up, for great success! That paradigm appears to be fizzling out before it even really got started. Still need to watch the threat, but its a little premature to blow our tops over.

Wait, what's what who said?
