That has literally never happened to me.
I find myself going down the stairs and turning off the hose myself.

Not to derail the thread. I live in DFW, how’s the commute to the bases. I realize on OALs we would be bottom of the list.

My guess would be tough on other airlines, especially AA. Heck even with my Envoy priority DFW can be tough.

I’ve been doing it to CLT for over 5 years and ya it’s a packed SOB when times are good. I guess the good thing is NK flies to their bases early in the AM so looks like I’ll be either catching a last ride out or a early morning flight in. ACY looks to be the toughest with a 2 legger.

Honestly, some of the more unpleasant people in this industry. I am not saying they dont have reasons to be angry, but damn. It's the same at all their hubs, at least the three or four I frequent.

a good sweat isn’t so bad and kind of nice when playing outdoors. When wearing poly/wool pants, two shirts, a tie, and a mask makes sweating very unpleasant.
