Sounds like this guy is very qualified. Good luck Ken, you are gonna need it in PHilly, its a mess and needs some "tough love" to fix it up! Hope he's up to the challenge.

Wow, what a way to start a new job with a PHL evacuation on the very first day. At 0915, there are still thousands outside the terminal waiting to get back in B and C.

Not his first day.....
Ken has been the "temp" Director of Ground Ops for a couple of months.

How Many Does This Make Now?

While a congratulations is certainly in order for him, let's be realistic here. Unless the airport has better runways/taxiways and airspace its a dead end job. I sure hope nobody is expecting the clouds to break and this ray of sunshine to flood the airport. Sorry but this has been filled by how many people? Ohhhhh where to even begin with that dump? Oh wait, they are painting it white. Yipppeeeeee. Well it's a start. At least there is some new equipment to park on the a/c parking like... while im on that, why does that happen. Park the $7&!t where it goes.

PHX ramp had a going away party for him after he left. He's a bobble-head. Just talk to him and watch his head wobble back and forth.

MAYBE he will clean up PHL we all know it is long over due.

What happened to the last guy from AWA that was going to clean up PHL?

Tony Grantham is still there, he is the Station Director. The new guy is Director of Ground Operations, i.e ramp, etc.

He's not the guy. Ken's style was more of the 'test and probe the union kind of guy'. He would see what he could and couldn't get away with. Push tease test tweak pinch.

Oh joy! Just what PHL needs! Someone to antagonize the unions. That will get a/c turned around in a hurry, I bet.

Any chance we could get him and Armedio in the same room? We could sell tickets!

News stirring that Mr. Fischer will be gone.

Nice they keep sending that AWA talent to PHL. It's worked so well so far.
