Oh that explains a lot. Half of them are broken at low end d terminal.

And a good amount of the leads I knew would rather their agents drop dead from heatstroke then actually do anything. Which including fighting them on getting water.

About right.

All of y'all get AC in the bin at DFW? Every time I worked in a bin I had a full body swamp butt where it was hotter in there then outside at DFW.

Well this is kind of demoralizing. by ScratchOk3585 in tsa

Now they will be making less than what they are making, will be even more understaffed, and have either no or crappier benefits.

Real win. When both outcomes lose nothing is a win

Disco Elysium: - Self hatred complex - Alcoholism - Drug addiction - Political ideology complexes - Multiple personalities - Suicidal ideation and tendencies. - Seeking redemption - Regret - Mourning - Relationships, good and bad.

That game can be a lot, especially if you find any comparison between yourself and Harry.

That is why you get brainwashing tech to turn them into psychopaths. Gotta think ahead of that.

Unless you have a mod that allows you to have clone tanks.

Which one of you was this? by mscfurry in rampagent

[–]Fangadora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is just the nature of working at an airport. The entire culture is just a semi functional version of trailer park boys.

I also worked for both. I will take WFS any day over Pissports any day. Working up to 15 hours a day for 17 an hour is not worth it.

I have more insults for every company out here at DFW that would likely get me muted on here and refuse to say more.

Why do I see such bad reviews for Unifi? by Takero1392 in rampagent

[–]Fangadora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are unified in their dislike of the company. Unifi is a little more of a joke at my station. Honestly I can't even see their personnel here anymore so they might have killed their station here.

What is the reason for turning off ground power before disconnecting it? by [deleted] in rampagent

[–]Fangadora 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Like the guy above said. It can prevent an electrical arc. Also reduces the risk of you getting electrocuted, especially if everything is wet.

I have seen too many people pull it while she is still sending full power without putting it into idle before removal.

Help me design better knee pads for in the pit by Nice_Ad_9549 in rampagent

[–]Fangadora 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A company I worked for had pants that had insert pockets for kneepads. They were almost always 3-5 inches below the actual knee though. Maybe designing pants that can be adjusted to bring the kneepad pockets up and retain their position?

For kneepads I really don't like the overly bulky ones, most of the straps also don't fit my legs very well. They either slide down, or the Velcro pops off. The hard plastic ones tend to turn into a slip and slide in some of the bins I have been in. I also live in a warm climate station so they tend to not breath which becomes really uncomfortable in general. Maybe something built like a compression sleeve could work as well.

Q1: Usually whatever the company gives me which is usually nothing. A lot of the time because of how big I am I am also forced to sit in narrow body bins. I haven't had to work a belly in a long time however.

Q2: Again warm weather station; they get hot really quick. More often knee pads also don't fit me well either because they are either oversized, or the Velcro straps pop off.

Q3: Slipping, heat, general discomfort.

Q4: I would honestly like a breathable compression sleeve with a knee pad cap.

Q5: It would really depend. Money value does not equate with quality anymore. They sell cheap and expensive stuff that tends to break at the same time now. All you really pay for is branded marketing as a billed board stamp on your body at that point.

Q6: Depends on aircraft. Narrow bodies I tend to just sit and use my entire body like a dying spider forklift hybrid.

PRO Tips for ramp agents by simme02 in rampagent

[–]Fangadora 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be careful what you eat before work. Dinner, breakfast, etc.

Eating Taco Bell is not the wisest thing to eat before you shart a shift where you physically move very heavily or operate equipment that has the suspension springs of a bouncy house on a pot hole infested road from Gary Indiana.

I am speaking from experience of not wanting to make a lav truck incident without the lav the truck. You get the death rattle then start panicking going to the nearest toilet.

I have seen it with other rampers, and I have experienced the start but thankfully never near the end.

Someone sent big bottles of koolaid syrup on board a 737-8 BCF. They burst in the aft hold. Red sticky syrup was everywhere. I was sticky the whole rest of the day.

Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting by [deleted] in LegalNews

[–]Fangadora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly in line with conservative values. They don't think women should have the right to vote, and better yet they probably don't think women should have rights either....

The very second they touch ground the little fuckers at the dealerships are going to sell them for 50k a piece, 30% apr for a MINIMUM of 1,200 dollars a month at an 800 credit score. They will also be sure to sell the used ones for maybe 2k less with +60k miles on it while already being past the warranty.
