You can look at it that way I suppose... and yes YIP is our base... but we don't have the hoops to jump thru that "Gateway" basing allows.. with imputed income and the like.... for practical purposes.. (except for training) we are home based..... and for me personally.... in 4 years other than initials.. i have never had to get myself to training...its always been during my line. Like you said.. its a play on words.... resident airport ... sounds like home basing to me.... but i get your point.

Yes, you are correct.

Damn! Might have gotten to eat my meal with my name on it that I special ordered.

A couple of questions for anyone who is an employee over there (have a clas date and trying to get info):

1. Any chance that you have the ability to purchase ID90/ZED fare tickets? EG you are able to get onto my id travel dot com?
2. Where would I find an acceptable jacket? I have the description, and of course, google does not yield any results.

Thanks!

1. No.
2. Jacket? as in a blazer with cool stripes on it? I think they give you a uniform store resource to accomplish that. Or just do what everyone else does and wear whatever you want

Well some of the guys are still wearing their jackets from WW2, but most just wear whatever they wore at the previous company.

MYoFace is correct... you will see everything from 150 dollar internet specials to 450 dollar Perrone Jackets...... There are a group of guys who wear airline style blazers.. but they are in the minority... then there is a group of guys who wear whatever blackish jacket they want.... ymmv

I was living proof of that wearing my old company's uniform during my entire tenure at K4, we were an incredibly Mötley crew , I remember the lot of us spilling into customs at Bahrain pouring out of a panting Classic, some wearing trench coats, some wearing leather jackets , blazers, ties, no ties, laughing and carousing in line while the effete British crew in front of us didn't quite know what to make of us, it was like Delta House, meeting the Omega's in Animal House!!!
