Having to wear it for the entire duration of your shift would be pretty silly though.

Silly is not the word I would use.

Redundant perhaps

Higher visibility, such as through vests, SHOULD work, but it doesn't. Look around. People wear vests on the ramp and still get hit by bag tugs and caterers (and yes it HAS happened). Midairs still happen even with flashing beacons and strobes. Police still get hit when they have someone pulled over on the side of the road, people don't see school busses with the flashign red lights and pop out stop signs... Vests only work when people are looking. Of course if people were looking you wouldn't need vests...

I think it's AA who has just started requiring pilots to wear a green vest on their walk around. I would be very suprized if any actually
will follow this.

High visibility vests for everyone have been the rule in our European cities for years.

A reduction in mainline flights resulted in a transfer to an all-east station with good people. They have embraced this westie and I am blessed.

Let's just hope corporate doesn't slash mainline flights here resulting in another irritable bowel inducing transfer. :unsure:

I hope the tewwowists don’t know how to use Google.

Even if they don't know how to google, there always is the New York Times, the official newspaper of the terrorists.

 

[Hey.. Chill Out]

HEY... All you punks from Philly LISTEN UP...
Nice job loading that flight the other day. That mail was stacked perfectly, and the bags were easy to get to the appropriate runners! Mad props for you:





Anybody hear if the court hearings on the attendance went on today?

Whats the score fellas?

At my former station, managers were writing ESONs as they were given a quota by the station manager. 3 ESONs a day from each shift manager or suffer at performance appraisal time. Of course, one shift manager had nary a fleeting familiarity of the GOM, so she just made it up as she went along. When she wrote me up for something bogus (I disproved her by printing out several pages of the GOM and she rendered her Supreme Court decision that she translated it to mean something different... :wacko: ), I pointed out that she was not wearing hearing protection on the ramp. She can't hear with hearing protection on, she says...!
