Maybe jack off is too strong of a word, but after hearing it continuously on multiple legs jack off comes to mind.
Recycling should be for paper, plastics, and cans only, please discard your jokes in the appropriate receptacle when done.

You realize most of their income is from tips right? I hope you're joking...

The drivers are typically always on time before each of our departures in the morning and at the end of our last leg in the evening. The drivers are typically always willing to put my bags in the back and some even goes as far as setting up the handle and putting the carry-on on it's latch.
The way I see it these drivers are working later and earlier than us on any given day at much less the pay. I don't pretend to understand their circumstances since it's not my business, but I'll be happy to toss a driver a tip one way or another.
It's entirely up to each of you, but I'd give these guys a break.

That was actually the one major bone I had to pick with the most recent training program I went through. They said if the FD is on, you strictly follow it. Not good.. not good at all. Scan first, then look at the bars, they should verify what you want to do.

That whole interaction had me laughing out loud in public....
BTW: May I suggest that everyone read this thread backwards...starting from the last page and making your way back.
It is hilarious

I understand things happen multiple pick ups, traffic ect... But, if the driver has us waiting for 20+mins without an "I'm sorry" that's not just late, its also rude.
