Default Cicadas in ORD

Anybody else having problems with the Cicadas getting in the apu/packs and stinking up the airplane while burning up/festering? We had a flight where 2 passengers threw up, and I had a tough time calling departure through the dry-heaves because the smell was so bad. Its nasty and maintenance said there is no way to get them cleaned out (which I am sure is bull). We need some raid ASAP!

When you only fly to 7 airports, you don't have to worry about things like this. However, a few days ago, I had to hold short for a flock of tumbleweeds crossing the runway in TWF. Got-a-love Tprop flying!

I've dodged javelinas in PRC before, although I think the pack of coyotes might have gotten them under control because I haven't seen one for a couple years.



Stupid pigs.
