Obviously you have been to IAD. When are they going to be forced to become "English Proficient"?

Are they still requiring you to call ops to verify your gate assignment when you get on the ground? What a cluster.

Ha, we don't answer those acars messages EVER... I was just amazed that the damn thing works for something other than "Call scheduling" and "Why were you late?" :D

EWR Terminal A on a good day is still worse the IAD ramp. I use to work for a UEX carrier back in the day in ORD and IAD was our other base and still Term A in EWR is worse then ORD when every aircraft would wait 20min for a gate.

The "which major airport has the best ramp" is kind of like a competition for "world tallest midget"
