Maybe....but where Trippe lost was his influence either retired or failed reelection and he had already pi$$ed the opposition off. I believe in today's environment, RA has played the game well and is willing to concede now, amid uproar, to gain further.

I don't know of any consistent cranky pants off the top of my head... it wasn't the guy with the really thick accent, was it? I have the worst time understanding him sometimes.

Smuggling at SAN
 

Some DGS employees busted for smuggling at SAN. I never understood why aircrew are seemingly screened more thoroughly then some other contract employees (NON KCM obviously).

Scoop :confused:

Lindbergh Field baggage handlers indicted, accused of smuggling drugs onto airplanes - 10News.com KGTV ABC10 San Diego

I'll tell you why, because their BUDDIES are the ones doing the screening. :rolleyes:

I didn't get a harumph outta THAT guy!

No, it was a younger guy trying to slide an RJ in behind us and messed up his spacing. Didn't help that there was moderate turbulence from about 12000 to 230, hooching winds out of the north and ceilings at 300'. Apparently, I was supposed to intercept final about 2 miles from the marker at 250. The CA was great on the radio. I like the ATL guys. This guy was having issues.

Might have been a new trainee (there are a lot of them), hence the frustration. That guy totally screwed the pooch and was deflecting it on you. We may see more and more of that over the next few years as the old guys are replaced.

You're right, though... they've overall got a great group. It's the best laid out runway structure in the world with a very functional ramp structure. That place moves the metal with fewer delays like nowhere else.

I haven't laughed that hard in a while! Funny stuff!

Sorry to spam, but still hoping for an answer, and I can't seem to be able to reach the pass bureau...:rolleyes:


Nonrev/Buddy Pass/CDG question.

Have an S4 travelling DAL out of CDG, duly listed. I can't find anything in Travelnet about CDG, but I remember there were idiosyncracies. Are they detailed in some sort of guide? Is it as simple as to tell buddy just to go to check-in?

I haven't non-reved out of CDG since the days when you had to go down to the belly of the beast, where you got vraiment abused along with all the nonrev riffraff.

Thanks!
