In a previous century at a place called jfk eagle dampers were drag racing on the ramp with company pick up trucks. Cops show up and most don't have a license. That was a amusing few days.

Skywest did NOT do a decent job there unless they were handling a Skywest aircraft...they intentionally sandbagged other carrier's operations and are gone for a reason.

LOL, they didn't even handle our aircraft well. We had just as many problems with them, as everyone else did. That's what happens when you force pay/benefit cuts on employees already making next to nothing. They simply DGAF anymore.

Sorry, should have said. Did better than IAD. Which was true, but CLE, IAH and ORD were still probably better, but for someone who had to deal with IAD all the time they seemed pretty decent by comparison.

Was in DEN 2 weeks ago. They loaded the wrong bags from a different flight on our plane and then just disappeared. Took 3 calls to Ops and a 50 min. delay to get them back, unload the wrong bags and reload the correct ones. Then it took another 15 min. to find somebody to push us back.

At one time in the late 90s after it opened, KDEN was responsible for 25% of UAL's airport costs world wide, it would not surprise me if its still the most expensive airport for UAL to operate from.
