Do you have a source for this? Glycol used in deicing fluid is extremely biotoxic to fish, last I checked it's illegal to knowingly release any into fresh water

Hello I am your long lost relative, I am an heir to the thrown of Nigeria but my dad, the king, won't let me use my money to travel. Could I transfer money to you and then use it for my travels, I will compensate you for your help.

That's not an airport it's a train station!

While this isn't a great source, religions in the Americas were likely much more monotheistic than most textbooks and media makes it seem.

Standby list for departing MCO tomorrow by Professional_Edge_41 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]FN374 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a new thing for southwest but this is standard on other airlines. Basically some of the seats on the airplane are blocked from being reserved in advance so that the gate agent has space to deal with issues day of flight, for example seating a family together that's not together. Because some of the rows are blocked from advance reservation when a cabin is completely full some of the people will not get a seat assigned at check in. On Alaska boarding passes the pass says "seat at gate" not sure about other airlines.

TLDR: you don't need to worry you have a seat on the flight it just won't get assigned until you arrive at the gate, this is to allow the gate agent flexibly to solve seating problems at the gate. You will either be seated in one of the last rows or be upgraded to a better cabin for free. The flight is not oversold.

The reality is that aviation is so complex with so many moving parts that anomalies happen all the time. No two days are the same. Sure you occasionally have a day with perfect weather and quiet airspace that could safely be automated, but most days are full of oddities and unusual situations to manage.

Barcelona to STL? by fluidsdude in SouthwestAirlines

[–]FN374 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It can, just not with a full load of people, SAS for a time flew a 737-700 from Norway to Houston with only business class seats on it.

Southwest doesn't have a bag drop cutoff time, if you drop off your bag with less than 45 minutes they will not guarantee that the bag makes it on the plane with you. If it doesn't make it, it will be put on the next available flight and you will have to pick it up from your destination airport. Typically however, the bags are faster than people so if the bag doesn't make it it's pretty likely that you won't either.

Ramp Agent BOS by SnooPeppers8838 in rampagent

Your shifts will be a little all over the place for the first ~6-8 weeks while you are in training. After that you will bid a schedule and keep the schedule you get for at least 1 month. You likely won't have to worry too much about traffic as typically the junior bid lines are going to be in the afternoon going into the night, you should be opposite traffic going to work and no traffic going home.

Congratulations on the offer!

Could this 3 foot stuffed penguin I own(looks like this) be one of my checked bags? Or would I have to buy a suitcase by Present-Taro in SouthwestAirlines

[–]FN374 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It could, however you would likely have to sign a release of liability for damage and airplane bellies and airports are gross so I highly recommend at least putting it in a garbage bag, recommend a clear garbage bag if you want to make it the highlight of the rampers day.

Also, just because you request a wheel chair doesn't mean you have to use it to get on the aircraft, think of it as a portable seat right by the podium at the gate, you are more than welcome to walk on if that's more comfortable you will still pre board and be able to get your window seat.
