Your Home Airport Complaints

Metro has that hanger right there where the old flight school was. There was guy for a while down there that had a school that was in a trailer halfway down between those covered hangers. Metro flies a Commander dont they or use to? I live like 5 miles for Tara. I know Chris over a South Atlanta pretty well..I have know him since his dad at the mtc place up at old Southexpressway.

I know when we left PHX there were 25 non revs who didnt get on. Thank God for senority, plus the downgrade of A/C didnt help. But the agent told me all their flights from there leave full.

Dude, that would suck. One of the things I like about SWA's non-rev policy is seniority doesn't mean squat for boarding priority. Must rides....well, they must ride, then it goes to commuting flight crews, then active employees, active employee families/retirees, and finally people travelling on incentive or space available passes. Much like normaly boarding, the non-rev goes first come, first serve. So, if a person with 20 years with the company comes sprinting up to the counter after I've been there for 45 minutes, I haven't wasted my time.
 
Yeah, my experience has been that 90% of the time we are dealing with problems on the airplane it was started by a gate agent. Hate to hear stuff like that. Did you have a good vacation?
 
Vacation has been good but back to the grind on Monday. I know when I was an ALA most of the delays were due to the agents screwing around...
 
Yeah, I know Chris. Metro has the big hanger that's kind of isolated, near where they are building the new hangers. They fly a commander and a Seneca II. Pretty good operation they have going on over there. Do you train with them (SAA)?
 
The trailer you refer to I believe belongs to Bob McSwiggan now, the DE. It's right next to the covered hangers, close to where Metro used to be.
 
I havent done any formal training with them but I am checked out there. Like I said I have known Chris for sometime now and he Dad also. I saw they have there new website up now also. I want to get down there but just have been so busy around the house. Is Metro's hanger they one all the way past the T hangers down on the left. Kinda all by itself? Have you done any flights with that DE there?
 
I took my private checkride with the DE. He's a really cool guy, he's the guy that owned the DC-3 they used to have parked there (I think it's at Griffin now), and also the DC-4 maybe.
 
My complaint about Fairfield, MT 5U5:

The dang weeds are a foot tall that are growing through the runway. It has been chip-sealed many a time and its starting to break up. You land hard in something like a 210 or light twin and you'll punch through it and be in a world of hurt.

Only if you're there to bail me out, K. BTW, when's the next airport noise meeting for SDL, I'll be sure to be in attendance.....

Maybe there's someone else that will want to "take it outside" with me. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bandit.gif

[/ QUOTE ] /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif OH NO.. not again! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dunno when the next meeting is yet.. when I hear about it, I'll let you know.. but I betcha it'll be during the week and that probably wouldn't work good for you seeing how your over in ABQ right now! But i'll still let ya know! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bandit.gif

Next SDL airport noise meeting (noise study progress workshop) is this Thursday, August 5th from 1830-2030 at the SDL Airport terminal building. I, unfortunately, won't be able to make it. Can anyone else?
 
Oh come on the grand prix is kinda cool

. But what is even in the BKL terminal used for anyway. There are those three gates which i've never seen being used. But I do agree its on odd place for antique shows. I remember going to some travel expo there.

EDIT: whoops didn't notice this was an ancient thread, i replied to a post on page 1.

And Cleveland Hopkins has nothing but RJs, RJs, and more RJs.

1:Fuel prices are ridiculous.
2:Only one runway. The airport is busy with corporate jets and student traffic, with no separation between them.

How much should there be?
 
SYR again - GA facilities are more than decent, but the price for 100LL has topped $4 a gallon. Yes, I know that there are higher prices elsewhere in the country. But only 20 miles NW at FZY, it's almost $1 a gallon CHEAPER. Of course, if you know how messed up the airport management was.....don't get me started about that.
 
John_,
What kind of search engine do u use to find the big loads? She looks like a special guest that should appear on Dr. Phil.

Who is LuAnn?
