To be honest. I work for an airline and I've had passengers yell at me. I'm a mechanic, planes break, we fix them. Not always that simple. Ticket agents and flight attendants get the worst of it, most of us would never see it but when I've had the same airplane break on me 3 times. People get ticked off and they vent. I would never release an airplane back into service until it can get you to your destination safely. The wording on every maintenance release basically tells you if you sign it and lie you will go to jail.
I can't comment on a ticket agent's actions, I only know what some of us go through on a daily basis and there is usually more than one side to a story...

That said, night all

I can't believe passengers would yell at a mechanic!! The ticket agents and flight attendants no doubt get the worst, they are the face of any airline. They get my utmost respect! The link for that story came from the Peter Greenberg Travel Detective website. It was in the August 26 Travel News Roundup. If y'all have never heard of Peter Greenberg, check out his site. It is a wealth of travel information, tips and news you won't find anywhere else.
Off to work, see ya later!!

Ppl will yell at anybody handy Allen. Whoever's most handy wearing an airline nisignia will do I'm sure. Although, I've never even seen an airline mechanic to complain to around the Philly airport which I've always flown out of. I think if not for all the stuff that goes on these days what with security and travel stress, luggage, what have you i'd like working for an airline. But I won't be applying for work there any year soon.

Good morning everybody

Didn't get much of a chance to play with everybody yesterday. So here's an update.

After we got off work Rich and I went to JoAnne's fabrics and Michael's to get stuff to finish up our gifts. Also looked at fabric for making the FE. Not sure i'm going to make 1.

FE Qestion:
How big are everybody's extenders? And is anybody giving a big gift? In size at least.

Saw these teeny tiny totes in Michelas yesterday that might work, but I'm not sold on htem .

Anyhow, after we hit our stores and were on the way home for supper we got calls to go pick up our new glasses, which made us turn around and go get them, even though we were seriously only 1 minute from our house
But now, Rich has nice new comfy glasses and mine are nice too. Do wish there was an independent optician around here but there seems to be none. Oh well, we got them from the ppl who did our exams National Optometry. They were nice enough.

And today is my day off and tomorrow is back to work for another fun 6 day work week. Thank goodness there aren't too many of these left b4 the cruise.

Morning all!

Hey guys! Just checking in again. I took care of what had to be done today and came on home. I was feeling some better this morning, but as the day goes on, I feel worse and worse. Merkie is just the opposite. She wakes up every morning feeling aweful and then feels better and better as the day goes. She does get worse again as it gets late. Oh well, we are planning to just hang at the house and rest until church Sunday. Hopefully, we will be able to knock this thing.

I'll check in and out throughout the day. Hope all the other little sicklings on here are feeling better today.

Guys I just checked my e-mail, Shirley at Dreams Unlimited said that there is no available for our dates at SSR. So that made that decision easy. She also said that those discounted packages required a minimum of three night stay and I was only staying two so I would not qualify for the discount even if there had been rooms available.

our gifts is not very big in size, it's the size of a small goodie bag. I'm thinking I will add a small canvas bag so people can leave heavier things in that if it's too heavy for my small foam treasure chest!

 

[Octoberbride03]

Hey nancy

I never even saw any treasure chests at Michael's just the little totes. I have to decide soon what I'm going to do or I'll run out of time
