I will give her a buddy pass to PHX and buy the cake if she can nail Parker with it in the face. This is very sad. I would have come unglued so I applaud her for staying calm. "Are you sure you packed it"? I would have just lost it.

God, that's just awful. I think I would have come unhinged over that. She needs to start looking at the dresses on E-bay. I bet she finds it.

When I worked in PHX, a transfer runner ran over a box which contained a bridal gown. It had just been taken out of the bin and someone was going to take it up the jetway and he just ran right into it and smeared it across the tarmac. The bride-to-be was furious, to say the least.

She flew PIT-CLT-EWN. No PHL mooks involved.

I know some guys in CLT that would be knockouts in that gown.

Well, the girl was tiny so it couldn't be any of the East FAs or any of the TSA gals.

Was that around 1999 or 2000? I saw something like that once when I was there in passenger service..

No. Probably 03 or 04. The ramp supervisor (now referred to as a manager) made the transfer runner hand her the dress and explain what happened. But you know kids nowadays; he couldn't understand what she was so upset about. Think he was sent home to think about it. Just another young loser through the revolving door.

Dear Bride so sorry about your dress . You have to be told USAirways ranked 5 out of 5 dead last for Customer Service could care less. I am only gald it was not a body . I do not know when the mass lost there conscious but its for real.

Yes, because there are/were no middle-aged losers working as baggage handlers. I agree that the dress would have sustained less damage had it been ran over by a tug driven by a 38 year-old winner.

The revolving door accommodates people of all shapes, sizes, colors, creeds, and ages; you know this as well as I.

I was there. He was a young loser.

Certainly, yes, I wasn't claiming he wasn't or that your recollection was flawed. That he was a young loser is entirely likely as you have no reason to mislead.

It's that he was "just another" young loser that awoke memories of my own involving my being disrespected or disregarded by older, more "mature" agents that thought I was "just another" and immediately wrote me off. Since then I've come to realize that a good lot of these people are just inherently unhappy bag room barnacles that find junior agents to be the most convenient targets for the disdain they produce as an unceasing flow from their blackened hearts; and as it follows in a beautiful cycle it's those people that are my "just another"...

An interesting thing to know would be...does that loser still work for US? <_<

Well somehow I remember it. Maybe I was one of the FA's on the flight.

Could he be?

Can't imagine anyone treating you with disrespect.

See the Rules for the Ramp thread.

Dollars to doughnuts it was stolen by the TSA as they are a bunch of thieves.
