This one is probably way too Delta-specific: the guy at Allied Airbus that decides which vans are still road-worthy (all of them), and which need passable steering, shock-absorbers, and seatbelts (none of them).

They should at least give you an epidural kit, and a barf-bag when they pick you up...

At least you have an APU.. No AC or heat in the hummer until engine start.

Yeah some guys just don't get it. While we tend to zoom in on the fuel costs, APU's are actually substantually more expensive than that especially those "power by the hour" ones. The actual per hour costs inluding fuel, MX and leasing (where applicable) are borderline stunning.

So we're running $400+/hr coffee machines one day and the next day sweating out the cabin trying to wait til 5 prior. Its one of the few areas the $#!+ hot pilot cadre in this country could improve on.

Exactly. Which brings me to:

TOTD: Any of the amorous airmen and line boys who try to hit on Mrs. Cardiomd in the FBO lounge. On numerous occasion I have had to chase away pilots who are trying to chat her up in a not subtle way while ignoring me. She looks much younger than she is, but seriously, sometimes she is old enough to be some of these guys' mother. She also has a big ring on her finger. You would think that some of these dudes have never seen an actual woman before.

I now carry a rolled-up Trade-A-Plane to swat any pilot who gets too close and thinks he has a chance.

Some pilots think of that as an invitation rather than a deterrent.

TOD: An MD hanging around an airline pilot board trying to impress us with how hot his wife is.

'Scuse me while i dash over to the medical boards to post a few pictures of my wife.....

Wouldn't you rather be chatting on the Bonanza boards or updating your foreflight subscription?

Imagine what's going on when you're not there with your rolled up trade-a-plane.

For my planning purposes, which FBO can she be found in?
