It really is like taking a step back in time.

Charter customer in Kansas, watches with the FBO rampers while the pilots load bags for 12 into the back. As soon as we close the door, customer turns to the ramper and hands him a big wad of cash for a tip. Ramper walks inside. Um... wow. I don't care if you tip me, but why him? He just stood out here long enough to get a tip and walk away. If I had thought about it, I'd taken the wheel chocks he left in as souvenirs.

Surprised no one has mentioned Channel 9. United lets passengers listen to cockpit-tower communications, at least on old UAL metal. Not sure whether they will keep this or eliminate it (more likely) as they replace the fleet post-merger. There are many moments of openness including pilots angry at gate personnel (heard this at SFO once when we were kept waiting after being promised a gate). The most revealing moment was hearing a pilot repeatedly get our flight's identifying number wrong and have to be corrected by the towers. This happened more than once during the flight. I called to report it and never heard back from the airline regarding any actions taken. This is what makes me think Channel 9 will be dropped - too much liability.

DTW 320 CA who does his PA in the cabin and says he is military but the FO is civilian. He then reassures the pax that Delta HR does a great job and that the civilian guy had training and experience that met Delta standards.
