Yeah and guess who does... ARAMARK!! No joke. I endured their beyond crap grade D food through highschool and college and then I find out their minimum wage lowest bidder/quality scheme made its way into ground ops (perfect fit I guess).

I guess I was hoping only public school officials were stupid enough to contract with these guys. Again...I shouldn't be surprised.

F'ing Aramark man....lowest of the low.

I noticed the other day in the de-ice pad that one of your 900's kept its APU running while getting sprayed and he advised the iceman to make sure and not spray near it. Is that your normal operating policy to leave your APU on during de-ice? We just shut ours off. That way there is no need to worry about fluid getting into they APU intake and smelling up the cabin.
Saabs are alot more complexed than a CRJ...dont know the procedures but alot more checks

There's that weird prop thing attached to the engine. Just because the engine is started up and the prop is spinning, doesn't mean the a/c is able to move on it's own.

Oh, and maybe you don't mean it this way, but it seems as if you're trying to start some kind of 9E/XJ bout... if that's your intention, don't bother.
