6 inches of snow in MSP this morning. My half-hour drive to the airport took 1 1/2 hours to drop my wife off for a trip she's taking to visit family. Time to pull out the snow blower again. Oh, and the 4WD F-150 was a necessity this morning.

Fortunately for us her flight is taking off 3 hours late.

Hey, Elvis! It was great seeing you the other day!

(Yes, folks. That's right. I had an Elvis sighting. )

Nice of you to volunteer to take the Jumpseat to fit another passenger on board too. Elvis is in the building!

At least you know your filters are working.

I thought backpacks were banned in the FOM.
OK that's funny.

WRT the second one, every time I observe ramp operations at any airport in that market, its just so screamingly obvious that you don't need more workers, you need better work from your workers. You could probably cut staffing by half and still get a better job done if people hussled and cared as in a truly ingrained work ethic. Of course you'd have to pay more. The economic evidence that raising the minumum wage in general increases income inequality and unemployment is indisputable. That said, I'm all in favor of giving NYC below the wing a raise. A big one in fact. Provided they hussle for it and actually G.A.S. as opposed to the slow crawl of indifference you see at every gate with every airline there. While ATL has gotten a little better, the same thing applies there as well.

That might have been just me walking through the ATL crew room the other day. I didn't have my hat, so I was kind of sheepishly strutting.

Southwest was just awarded 54 new slots at DCA from American's divesture.

Nice to see the "low cost carriers" get an even shot
