Never worked retail, have you? Deposit envelopes contain the bank deposit slip, the credit card slips, checks, and CASH, that the register took in that day.

No, stealing makes him a tool. It's pretty obvious to anyone what a business's bank deposit envelope looks like.



Hard to mistake for trash. You seem pretty torqued up about this. You know the guy?

No, I never have. No, I have no clue what the slip or envelope look like. I stated as much. I did not know they contained cash. Thanks for clarifying. I do not know the individual.

For today the DL gate agents for closing the door 20 early. I ran after a flight and got there 15 prior and it was "too late." No weather issues, no GDP, no plane waiting for the gate, no viable issue to close 20 prior? It's one thing if the plane does indeed push back 15 early. But a little confusing to understand how the jetbridge can be hooked up to the airplane and no one going anywhere, and they are standing there and then the official out time is 7 prior. Listing a pilot and walking down the jetbridge wouldn't take that long, maybe a couple minutes at most. If they accepted to list/take me, they would have still pushed back 7 early. It's only a little frustrating because in the past I had a DL jumpseat and literally at the 15 minute mark a DL guy showed up and I lost the JS. No complaints there, I get that's JS priority allowed up to 15 prior for a DL guy.

I'm in the industry and know how it works. But this was a first for a 20 prior denial at 15. Oh well, better luck next time.

Alaska will close out flights really early these days. Show up less than 30 prior and you might very well miss it.

You have to put it on speaker and lay it on the night stand if you are going to call a 900 number, talk dirty and jerk off with both hands...

Or so I was told!

What you should have done was call his room and talk like a hot chick, tell him his loud conversation is making you so horny!

The express agents in PHL love to do that too, and then argue until it is 10 prior.

I simply posted because I thought I had something to add to your site. I, like many of you I'm sure, visit other forums of your interest. Aviation is just one of my interests and I have been around it for over 30 years. Through the '90s I was actively involved with Texas Raiders, Gulf Coast Wing, CAF as a full flying sponsor and turned my fair share of wrenches on her.
In regards to a news link, there was nothing locally and I doubt in Chicago either as the amount was $740 well below the $1000 limit for a felony.

I can always get a report if that will satisfy everyone. I have nothing to gain by falsifying the information I have posted. My intention was to contribute to your site in a meaningful and appropriate way.

If I have violated an inner sanctum then please forgive me.

I apologize for these fellow pilot's calling you out. I'll nominate them as TOTD. Some get a little butt-hurt if someone takes an interest in our profession and get offended when a non-pilot dare post on these public forums. Just because you aren't a pilot, doesn't mean you aren't welcome to lurk, and finally get a chance to submit your TOTD. I bet there are hundreds or thousands of non-pilot lurkers on this site. Even the media sometimes links to this site.

As for your original post. That pilot was definitely was a tool.

Thanks for contributing to our group in a "meaningful and appropriate way".

It sounds like the pilot in question may have been a tool... But the guy not in the profession that immediately posts on our board without any evidence whatsoever is a much bigger one.
Not to nit pick, but isn't this entire thread dedicated to blasting pilots (and others) for being tools? None of the other stories have any evidence either.
