You have to be super careful walking around there. You either have to walk in the street, or schlep through the tree roots and pine needles.
Hard to believe this is a Fortune 100 Company. For many reasons.
Fun fact. The GO isn't part of College Park, Hapeville or East Point. The GO, specifically, sits in an exclave of the City of Atlanta.

Well that's better then. North side was even more dumb.
On another note, I had to switch rooms at the Sonesta as my bathroom was way moldy. Like visible black mold in the bathroom. FCR forthcoming, but this is beyond ridiculous as this sort of thing didn't appear overnight.

There was (supposedly) a pilot who managed to knock himself out ducking under the fuselage and head contacting a probe/door/airframe. A jacket wouldn't help in this scenario.
But a hard hat would.
Be careful what you wish for.

My understanding is pilot mishaps on the ramp at Delta are incredibly rare. The yellow vest became a thing because the ATL airport authority was [trolling for fines] very safety conscious.

Hard hats would be tougher call, especially since rampers don't wear them

I believe that’s because it’s technically on the airport (which itself is City of Atlanta, “connected” to the rest of the city by a strip the width of the MARTA line)…?

At the time we were also the only major airline that didn't require them on walk-arounds.

Numerous incidents prompted the walkaround safety module during QCQ a while back. On a walk around, one of our pilots stepped between baggage carts just before the driver pulled away, leaving the pilot badly mangled. Several incidents of pilots tripping over the towbar and completing their trip with ripped pants or out of uniform. Pilot in $900 shoes with no grip ending up on their back in 10-degree weather after slipping on ice. Also not a pilot, but there was a horrific incident caught on video of a wingwalker with wands clearly lit and up being struck by a tug and violently thrown across the ramp. Thankfully the ramper survived but with severe injuries. 717 crew waiting to park witnessed the entire event. Be careful out there, folks.
