The got ya with this full body scanner or pat down is that flying is not a Right. Gotta do one or the other to get near em jets.

I had one of those full body scanners a month or so ago. Did not bother me one bit, but I sure felt sorry for the person watching!

I bet a guy with an avatar like Johnson 29 is a big fan though, puts his hands on his hips, leans back, walks thru and says "Ladies"

I also am finding it a little bit strange that if I leave Tulsa a "little early" on the mad dog I will be violating "corporate policy".

Not sure why that is on the main icrew page, and not sure what they mean by corporate policy.

They were all dumped, much to the chagrin of the Flight Crews that worked with them.

That's a fact, Jack. They were marvelous with the passengers and even better to the flight deck crew. It was a tragedy that they got sacked.

Corporate policy is to leave on time, and not a moment before. It is in a few places; FOM/EFOB/Weekly Update, Trim Tab etc. The station needs to get approval if they are to launch you early More than 10 mins). This is to mitigate the gate holdouts in atlanta.

Nothing new here, just a re-emphasis.

Ok...I'm just saying at a lot of the other stations the gate agents really "encourage" you to leave early. Guess we should just sit there and wait after the door is shut until time to go.

ACL,

Where did you find this in the FOM? I just took a quick look for it and could not find it.
