Life is not fair
I had to turn down 3 Colgan interviews due to my wedding and honeymoon. Colgan called me again today to interview July 3 or 6. I will be in Hawaii. Oh well. I guess i am a highly desired man though ha ha. I hope it works out as really want the position as there are 3 bases where i live.

Now, I'll tell you what's not fair. UPS will not allow me to be dual qualified on both the 747-400 and the A-380. I want to fly both, but I'll have to choose one over the other. I tell you, it's just not fair not to be able to fly both.

And to buffalopilot, don't worry about Colgan. A buddy of mine had to reschedule his interview 4 times, and was still hired. They're pretty reasonable people. Chuck Colgan has got the be one of the most easy going guys I've ever spoken with.

There's a couple places that do open houses every now and then, I think.
I remember when I worked the ramp at FedEx, there was a once yearly airshow at OAK, and they would have a couple planes out on display. But that was as close as you could get. Now, are you talking seeing what actually happens behind the scenes? Because there's a few good dvds out there on what you're looking for. Check out http://www.worldairroutes.com/ . Hope that helps!!

Just kidding with you....I did cancel my wedding for class at UPS though. Sounds like you are in demand.
