UPS Ramp 11

Many, many new parking places on ramp 11 according to the 10-10A page. Any remarks on this? Paranoid and crazy responses are encouraged.

I heard 727s and DC8s are coming back!

It's for a new government contract we got to haul freshly printed money bills...

The contract will include shipping of the new 'inflation' dollars - we'll be getting brand spankin' new, soon to be worthless, $200, $500, and $1,000 bills! I see lots of hiring!!!

PS. I heard it from a van driver so it's not a rumor - it's a fact!

Then we can all wait for that one big ice/snowstorm and watch the system shut down.

A Van Driver told me the ramp space was to be converted into a NASCAR practice track for David Ragan.

And the way he drives, we'll have to call back all of the furloughed mechanics to keep his car running.

Then with that experience, our 45 minute out-station turns will become 14 second turns.
