That's cool. I remember back in the spring/summer when the ACARS gate assignment thing first started, and in EWR it was so rarely correct that it was just ridiculous. I remember getting chewed out by ops for parking at the wrong gate after we followed what was on the ACARS instead of calling them first. That was fun.

Being chewed out by ops was a right of passage in EWR especially when they f-ed up. Just like getting yelled at but the ramp Nazi when we still parked at C2 when life was good.
Oh iPilot no one is arguing who has the best ramp, we are arguing who has the worst ramp. By far 98% of Mexico stations BJX, MTY, HUX, GDL have the best ramp and customer service. The US rampers and gate agents need to take lessons from them.

When I last in GDL we just cleared the runway and started heading over to the gate and I noticed the marshaler 2 wing walkers the GPU guy with the cord in his hand, the cleaners and the federalies all waiting for us. Just like you said the plane was cleaner then when we left IAH and they were very professional and polite to us. I loved mexico turns.

As far as worst ops, well, I've been to IAD a few times, and they are about 10 times better than EWR. EWR is just a different animal, it's a small regional hub in the middle of an international hub with only 1 runway to get in and out (usually), and now with terminal A, it's created one of the most challenging operations in the country.

There was a rumor going around that there was a big announcement here like two months ago. It was going to be on the 15th and it was going to be about xjt.... everyone had heard about "the announcement" rumor and then you know what it was? colgan got 15 more q400's. Knife through the heart for all those rumor lovers...
