You should seek employment opportunities within management.

There is always the cost vs benefit topic the company will use. IT need only to set it up once. It would take less then two hours of labor to reconfigure the wireless. Besides they are salary.

Colnago.. I have an apple and don't want to use windows explorer. I've had enough fun with viruses with my last PC computer. What other occupation requires employees to sit around with no work assignment except for being immediately available? Ready Reserve is a different situation than the majority of other jobs.

And that is exactly why I either sit in my car listening to the radio or just randomly wander the terminal rather than spend any time in the crew room. Well also because my phone barely works anywhere in that hallway area. Occasionally I'll go bother Mike too. That can sometimes be entertaining and informative at the same time.
