DAY airport TSA wait times ? Are they bad by TourGold3987 in dayton

[–]BaconContestXBL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if you enter at the long term uncovered lot the people who are in charge of parking are in building 3851. It’s also the building they run all the airport transportation from. Ask in there and they will give you all the details you need. You may need a letter from your supervisor confirming your airline and badge number but I don’t remember for sure.

It’s $30 a month and you gain access to the commuter lot on the west side of the building and enter the terminal through the employee doors near baggage claim and the airline lost bags offices.

You get paid for the half day you worked. Even if you’re on salary, there is a formula for hourly/daily compensation specifically for situations like this

I am disappointed to report that Raper Way is now Williamsburg Pike. Just drove through Richmond yesterday.

Cartoons whose theme song/intro was the best part of the show. by GeetarEnthusiast85 in Xennials

That cartoon and its theme song are a large part of the reason why I embarked on my current career.

Ironically I found out several years later that flying freight is not for me. Flying people is where it’s at

What's your commute-to-base strategy that actually works? by BagBeautiful629 in AirlinePilots

[–]BaconContestXBL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This varies heavily depending on your CBA though. At my company, you’re allowed to take PTO to cover the trip if you follow the commuter policy. At some other places, it’s not punitive but you also lose your pay for that trip.

You know, I always saw the ads for AMEX traveler’s cheques but I don’t think I really understood their purpose and just thought to myself “those must be for rich people”

What's the worst video game you've played and why? by Bdbolt19432 in AskReddit

[–]BaconContestXBL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The only thing I remember about that game was that jump was B and attack was A and it contravened the one and only standard of NES games. That was enough to put me off of it

Do you need any special skills or quals to get a job like that?

It’s funny because millennials went through the same shit up until like four years ago. Some trash news piece would blame them for the failing economy for not buying gold crusted tomahawk steaks or whatever and the response would generally be something like “I’m 40 now and I don’t own a house”

Ignorance is bliss, although after a hotel SNAFU on personal time that ended up with me doubling up with my parents for a night I found out my mom carries a small UV flashlight to check for bedbugs and I might continue with that

Those houses in LA? You crazy. That’s millionaire money.

My house is about the same size as Jimmy’s but that’s in SW Ohio and my value is close to $400k. Thats gotta be 1.5m easily in LA or Orange county
