To all you IAD fans out there.....

KAH MEH SEDI? (commisary)

The sad thing is that even the airport itself (ATC) and Potomac approach are a mess. It seems the airport cannot handle more than 5 planes at a time. Throw in a mix of wx and ground delays and you're happy that you are gettin' paid block OR better! haha!

Don't forget the "resequencing" that always seems to happen in the T/O line

Being on the ramp at 1700 on a saturday when they air out Saudi Arabian Air....glad I'm not in IAD on a regular basis anymore

When the bag handlers ask you to call maintenance because they cant figure out how to use the cargo nets, you look at them like are you F'in serious, and they say, no you should call maintenance.

That's dang hilarious. Did you see the Rosetta Stone IAD software for sale at the Kiosks in Dulles? It teaches all new IAD employees the only 4 phrases they need to know to work there:

1. Ready to board?

2. Commisary? (as previously stated)

3. C and D terminal second bus. (From the G gate days)

4. Chips and drink? (from subway)

if you ever get bored and the chance to park at A6E, get out of the plane as soon as you park and complain about all of the baggage carts around the gate. We did this once and started a fight between a ramper and a bag handler! It was almost a gang fight, with the crips and bloods going at it. They had several supervisors come out as well as security! Something fun to do on a 2 hr sit!

Ready to board?? Ready to board??

 

[flyer172r]

"Board on time?" "No, we need the paperwork, commisary, and a lav service." "On time?" "No, we need all that before we can board." "On time?"

Then the supervisor comes up: "Blue juice?"

 

[Jetscream32]

My favorite was when the guy would come on board with a bucket of blue juice because the lav truck's hose was broke. He just smiled and nodded because he couldn't understand my smurf jokes

Back in January, this Asian ramper lady would say in a thick Asian accent:

"You need CPU?"
"CPU YES or NO?"
"I plug CPU in, okay, you got CPU."

CPU was GPU, must've stemmed from her computer manufacturing days. Really difficult to hold a straight face to this lady.

Also love the hand signals some of the ground staff give. The guy tonight gave us the symbol for removing external power when he removed the nose wheel gear pin. Anything goes, as long as we were out on time thats all that matters.
