We tried it on a iah hotel pickup and it was awesome.
U put in date ur airline code flt # airport code and whether you are arriving or departing and it brings back his location or pickup location or telephone contact info like the uber app.
Does it just work where we use super shuttle?

Yes, but just a caution, the GPS thing updates mAybe once every 30 minutes, so it isn't exactly helpful

Yep, flew with tony a week or so off OE. I screwed up about every way possible during our 4-day. Tony couldn't have been nicer or more gracious. His retirement is Spirit's loss.

The whole ORD system is a complete joke the way we operate right now. If there is a cloud over Guam every single flight that goes in and out of there has a 45 min hold for a gate. The whole L concourse becomes a fire hazard with all of our passengers crammed down there at the end with every flight that gets delayed. Embarrassing.

As opposed to what? The way VA or JB operate in ORD with empty gates and no passengers half the time? I give the company major credit for doing so much with limited gates. Is it an inconvenience at times? Yes, but isn't it amazing how much we do with only 2 full-time gates. Itb is strategic, we are making sure nobody else squeezes in...just like what we should have done in FLL years ago in terminal 4. You are embarrassed, I am proud, obviously not of the waits and delays, but of the aggressive nature of our management when it makes business sense.

I remember B. mentioning also that it is a way to show and push Chicago in giving us more gates.
