Yep good news. The only bad news is we will probably be parking back on Camp Creek soon, and dealing with that horrible bus system again.

I heard a rumor of them offering us a discount rate to continue parking there. I would be willing to pay to avoid camp creek. I’m institutionalized now. I can’t go back there.

Is the tram finally running again? If so, that means we're using the gates at the far ends again. Which is good..

The soul-sucking bus of doom that shows up once every 30 minutes after 11pm, and then hits EVERY terminal en route to your ride home.

I haven't heard these rumors but I certainly hope they are true.

Maybe if we talk about it enough it will happen. There will be a meeting on the 4th floor talking about the logistics of opening back up Camp Creek and the concerns of infrastructure being in place for everyone. Some young mid-level executive will pipe up and say “I bet some of those pilots won’t want to be inconvenienced and may even be willing to spend a little cash that will reduce our load at Camp Creek, but only if they think they are getting a deal.”

Fourth Floor: ”The price is $5/day. But for you pilots, you get a special price of $7/day with a $2 discount.”

Pilot: “Sign me up!”
