Alright I am dying to know. When you guys say garbage operations on the ramp - what do you mean exactly?

We are convinced that our ramp operations at about every out station is the worst in the industry and so is our dispatch - so please share. I'd love to hear how it is for other people.

I didn't see anything on the news, but we are now officially on the United search engine for flights.

Do a search between IAD-EWR or CLE and ORD-CLE on June 4th and you will see some of the legs we are doing.

IAD A gates ....hum.. no inbetween there... you either get great service.. or it sucks..... mostly sucked.... much preferred parking over in the C concourse at IAD.

When I flew for S5 we did Kingston Jamaica turns out of ATL.... like a freaking bee hive down there.... plus you could usually get a ramper to go get these empanada like sandwhichs for like 2 bucks a piece.... bottom line the service we got down there was every good or better than the DCI service we got in ATL.

Given this news, any thoughts on recalls??

That's really really weird considering those are XJET cities, you'd think that we would have heard any news. Mesa does those flights too so it might be them. There hasn't been any talks at TSA.

I think now is probably the time that the MECs of both TSA and Xjet need to get together and discuss what is going on here. This "short term flying" out of IAD is more than suspicious when you look at the specific city parings.

suspicious how? its only a 3 month deal

It might be some TSA flying, but it is some Mesa flights. Last time it was to fill in for Mesa because they couldn't complete their flights to UAL's standard. It lasted over 3 weeks during spring break 2008.

Just search on united.com and you will see who is operating what flights

None due to this, it is only temporary.

I do weekly and it's still NOTHING compared that that lol. All you do at A is just relax and wait. IAD is a whole different animal!

That will only get you somewhere with half of them. Unfortunately due to the tribal conflicts the other half will stab you when given the opportunity.
