want me to save money do ya!!!???
Then how bout havin freakin ground support available ready and hooked up every freakin time!!!
This too is a problem, but we need to do our part in order to make the others fall in place.
Call in range at the out stations and let them know you expect the ground power to be ready upon shutdown, not 5 min after pulling up. That part gets me mad as can be, and when it happens I take a minute to speak with the people doing it.
Some places its logistic, and cannot be done. Valdosta is an issue with the tight space we park in, so they have to wait until we are parked and in place.
Many stations will tell you, they dont because most captains wave them off not to do it, so they figure most dont want it.
That gets me back to the point of the pilots doing our part then maybe things will fall in place.
I'm not crazy enough to think things will be perfect at ASA, but we have a chance to make it better and a leader of DCI flying.
Its an uphill battle to say the least. Dont create more drag for yourself.
