Stick a fork in this, it’s done.

Back to the rumor mill. Boston 40s gates coming back. Looking forward to the bagdrag over there. On a 36 minute turn.

I don’t think we get them till the connector inside security is built.

The company used the term de minimis, but that doesn't mean they agree with you and cool about how much they expect. I do agree though, that's MY definition.

Knowing JB we'll start using the gates before the connector is built, but hopefully Dr. Payne is right.

It was just the massport information but yeah that wouldn’t shock me. At some point they “should” announce more bos flying after these gates are done.

It would be nice if Massport would invest a little into Terminal C rather than just add more gates for us. The public restrooms look very old and tired. Also maybe elevator access to the crew room so we don't have to walk by and waft that disgusting trash vault would be nice.

exactly this. you guys want to beat a dead horse over and over about cleaning. it's a non issue. a non event. or even better it's a de minimis event.

They know it's not enforceable, but our "culture" dictates that they will continue to say it preach it and scream if from the heavens until one more guy believes it or is scared into doing work that's not required.

About a year ago a FA threatened to write me up for not participating in the blueturn. I simply smiled and said ok. I couldn't care any less if she did or didn't but I heard nothing from it. Won't hear anything from it, and no one else will either. Unless you are a total Aśś clown on the plane or leave such a mess that anyone would be embarrassed to have made in public (like some of our HPN-PBI people) you'll never hear a peep from anyone. Smile, use manners, be polite, be a normal human, or in other words just don't be a díck and you'll be just fine.

Haha good point! Also I'll start believing that Massport is creating more gate space for us, once I see them start building a couple more Dunkin' Donuts first.

Currito, please. I pray that place burns down in the night. I ask for some pico and get “Extra!” Ok, how about a little corn salsa “EXTRA!” I walk away. They’re like “Come Back!” I said, “Extra.”

Next stop Dunks wake up wrap.
