Ignition. Followed closely by combustion.

With plenty of oxygen..... it could have all been started by the rabbit that was "chasing" the rampers around the far north end of C yesterday morning. I wish I had a camera to capture that moment, hope it wasn't someone's pet.

Bus caught on fire, last fall a crew bus crashed at the airport injuring quite a few people. Those bus drivers need to chill out and stop driving like they are at the Daytona 500.

You mean like the one who drove 10 MPH from the A Concourse all the way down Camp Creek to the parking lot? Seriously, 10 mph on a public road? I could have walked faster.

Yah the 10 mph thing........ maybe that was the dude that crashed last fall, looks like he learned his lesson.

Maybe to save on the costs for the new buses, they only paid for a first gear.

Either that, or they get paid block time.

Naw, you don't want that dude. Block sucks, trust me I am a future LAMA. You want the "or better" part. Then go 5 mph (or .63 mach, whichever is slower at your altitude) and fudge the out time as 10 min early, and the in time as 13 late. If the bus has ACARS, MEL it or release the p-brake and hand the paperwork out the window. Half the time it works all the time.

Is that why RP has such fantastic performance numbers everyday.... fudgin it since you dont have ACARS... Luuuuuuucky
