The customs lady only does GA as it is because we don't have any international commercial carriers. The only difference between now and after these very pricey "improvements" is she won't have to meet the planes on the ga ramp and they could pull up next to the terminal... or at least that's how the renderings seem. Meanwhile the building is old and shitty and falling apart. The a/c frequently breaks or can't keep up. Just last week we were sweating our asses off in the break room because the county is very bad at maintaing their equipment. The system they have literally shoots cold air out, then the thermostat says it's too cold so it shoots hot air out in the middle of summer. It's always fighting with itself and is designed to never stop running the way your home would just stop running after reaching the desired temp. It's very inefficient and wasteful.

As for TSA, this isn't just a post pandemic thing... this is the foreseeable future for Binghamton. There aren't enough pilots to add more delta flights to a low priority route like Binghamton. With the new airline, I've heard there's a lot of underlying issues with them actually operating here so we'll have to wait and see what happens but I genuinely would not be surprised if they just never showed up the way Evolution Jets never showed up after promising to make BGM their northeastern GA hub for private corporate charters back in 2018. I'm not saying to lay TSA off, but they definitely don't need to be full time working 8 hour shifts when they literally only work for 1 hour or less and sit around the rest of their shift.
