"Some heads should probably roll at the gateway"

The sad thing is it's a pretty good gateway from my experience. When you fly in from ONT and have to wait around for a couple hours, they give you a van to run over the the FBO so you don't have to hang out in the trailer. FBO has a nice TV room and an internet computer.

Are you sure it wasn't a Redding Aero pilot sleeping in his own plane? A lot of those small feeder guys look like they are homeless.

I heard the guy was a new hire whose bank account ran out before he got to second year pay.

Nomad,

If that were the case, the plane would have been full.

That's hilarious!

I was gonna show your reply to this buddy of mine who happens to be a UPS poolie, but his girlfriend said he's already used up his one phone call?! I'm not sure what she's talking about....

Maybe we can make a whiteboard commercial from this event...

Whiteboard guy "Suppose you have a dead beat relative that you need to get from coast to coast... Brown can help"

FliFast and 767 - I went to youtube, typed 'UPS whiteboard' in the search engine and found several parodies of the commercial. There's one about 'removing a body' and another about 'monkey sex', etc...
