It was a cone. Now it's just trash scattered all over the ramp getting sucked into engines of planes taxing in and out of the alley.

Ouch, A company I used to work for never started the APU and left #1 running until they plugged us in, then something like this happened and then we always started the APU before getting to the gate.

I guess and they found it cheaper to run the APU for 5 minutes than replace an engine. Not saying this was the case, quite possible the APU was deferred...

Before I left that place thats what they wanted us to do was leave the apu down and wait for ground power. I kinda figured its only a matter of time before something like this was gonna happen. Now how much have they saved?
