Windsock was a gate agent with a comb-over so when he was walking he always had his head pointed so that the wind wouldn't blow the comb-over off !!!

Lets not forget PLUMBER, he had a fetish for flushing M-80's in the mens room toilets! He got fired for driving a belt loader through a block wall twice in one day! This was in PIT

"Caveman"
Only the old timers remember this guy. He was ex Piedmont and works in PHL now. An entire thread could be based on this legend.
I don't know how he earned his name but I remember when he was at this bar all the professional wrestlers frequented "Cave" greeted Rick Flair by walking up to him, head butting him, and yelling WHOOOOOOOO!
Legend says Rick Flair looked at him real pissed then smiled big and bought him beers all night.

The old PIT terminal or the new one (relatively, at least)?
Back to business: We have a east ramper at our station we call Colonel Sanders. Looks just like the old southern gentleman.

Wow, I haven't seen "STALKER" and I know every station has at least one. I also worked with guys coined "The UNIBOMBER and TIM MCVEIGH" just because of their overall creepyness

My nickname at work for awhile was Unibomber. It was winter and I let my beard and hair grow long. It was unsightly but kept me warm.

OK. Here are some but not all. These guys are friends of mine and I want it to stay that way.
Minus one has a missing finger.,Bluto is named after the arch nemisis of Popeye.,Dr.Doom because all news and expectations are bad .,Piss and Moan is self explanatory, Big E,Large Lou and Big John because they were and Wrinkles because he had lots of them.
You are correct and the department is right. We all had nick-names and BWI was one of the best places I ever worked. Some of those nick-names are from a different station though.
