All praise, honor, and glory to CPDLC... HF is WW2 tech that I am amazed we still use. Guess it's jobs.

Count the number of ways our position can be determined besides HF, and the huge number of satellites zipping overhead, yet there we are, competing with two dozen other fools on 7.818 or whatever, to get the attention of a dude in a shack with a mike and a yagi antenna every 10 degrees. :rolleyes:

FA's in KCM line pulling up to the podium with nothing ready. Then scramble through a 50lbs baggage sack to seek for a drivers license :mad:

This is annoying. Thinking only of one's self is becoming America's defining personal trait. One more reason why they should be screened and x-rayed.

Don't forget the patdown!!! :D

Serious question for those who balk at FAs who hold up the line going through their bags for ID, etc. Why don't you just say, "excuse me" and go in front of them? I've never used KCM but have either gone in front of others after excusing myself OR told others to go ahead of me if I was the slow one on regular TSA or crew lines. :confused:

Because no one wants to witness firestorm a move like that would create.

Suggest you drop the term "aisle donkey" as you pass for maximum effect...

Seriously?! EVERY FA you know/work with/come in contact with at the KCM line would "create a firestorm" over that? :eek: :confused:

The ones that don't have their stuff ready and spend 10 minutes digging for their ID and license/passport would.
