This is how I got to school in the winter. Fast and efficient. No need for a stinking plow.

Kinda would be correct. I had a UPS Supervisor get pissy with me when I was 1 minute late. Headwind + late driver and the guy takes it out on me being 1 minute late.

I would imagine about the only other thing you'd get flying feeder service for Brown is 5 guys screaming "HE'S NOT WEARING A YELLOW VEST, HE'S NOT WEARING A YELLOW VEST!!!!!". :D

How many of you have gotten one of these? I just had my first one and it was a little on the awkward side. I flew into LGA and was running a bit late due to weather holding and when I landed I hurried over to my next plane heading to Rochester. One the way scheduling calls and tells me that they are changing my schedule to go to DCA.
Long story short, the LGA to DCA and back to LGA took over 4 hours with delays. So I land in LGA with voicemails, call the company back and they put me on a Rochester flight. I head over and as I'm walking up to the gate a large group of people stand up with the standing ovation. I thought for a second and realized, wow, this is the original Rodchester flight and these people have been waiting 5+ hours for me. It really caught me off guard and was a little embarrassing but I went with it, took a bow and walked onto the jet-bridge. That was the end of my first 16 hour day.

Right there is your first mistake.
 
I got one in ORD once from a bunch of lazy asses who could have made the 2 hour drive to their final destination (PIA) in the time it took me to DH from IAH.
 
When I was a gate agent and I thought the timing was right, I would solicit a round of applause for the captain as he boarded the flight. Never if the flight was delayed or people were grumpy, but when the CA was off guard headed to the jet bridge and the passengers looked bored, it was fun. Sometimes I would throw in a bow or once in a while get a few people to salute. The conservative captains scowled at me, but some of the guys thought it was pretty funny. Brasilia pilots always were totally cool and laughed it off, but then again chicks dig beta.

"and if anything happens we will come back around and land at (home base international); not only do they have maintenance and emergency services, but our cars are here too."

Do you fly for Delta? If so next time you fly into LGA you should stop by and say hi to me, I work the ramp at the C terminal. No standing ovations just a handshake.

Cool, I fly Delta Connection for Republic and I usually roll into C terminal at least once a week. Do you mostly work the mainline gates or do you work the Connection flights too?
