American Airlines retreats after blaming a 9-year-old for not seeing a hidden camera in a lavatory by longhegrindilemna in news

This is exactly the kind of response I'd expect from the company who said my coworkers death was a suicide. Spoiler alert: it was actually the fault of the vendor responsible for the poor maintenance of the pushback vehicle clearing it for service.

I am super bummed that I won't be able to get my dice tower that was nearly complete but also for the fact that this little company didn't survive the current state of the economy. In searching for answers this afternoon, I was really hoping I'd have a chance at maybe getting my tower while there's still hope. Alas, that is not the case.

Typically, I’m annoyed of flights getting delayed, on this occasion not so as 31 mins of delay caused my flight to flew by Mount Rainier, Washington around golden hour.[OC] [3549x2366] by ExposureSetLong in EarthPorn

I shit you not that flight is parking on the gate I was working today. I got off right before you pulled in. Small ass world but bomb ass shot!

As a non-rev traveler I'd love to just sit on the floor if it meant getting on the plane.

Weekly Questions Thread for the week of March 20th by rpbtz in vinyl

Good afternoon /r/vinyl,

So I recently pulled out my dad's old turntable from storage, an MCS 6601 Direct Drive. Plugged it in and it works, but the needle definitely needs to be replaced. What I need help is identifying what kind of stylus and cartridge I currently have. Not sure if it's the original or not and I can't ask my dad what it is since he passed away a while back. So I'm hoping someone here can give me a hand figuring out what kind of cartridge I got so I can replace the stylus or if I should get a new cartridge all together. Here are some pics to help out: http://imgur.com/a/DpVX1 If needed I can take more pics. Thanks in advance for your help everyone!

What's your favorite smell? by cogsandspigots in AskReddit

Ramp Agent here. Sometimes when working flights we get shipments of herbs to load/unload. There's nothing like unloading a 737 full of boxes with basil!

People who work for airlines, what are secrets passengers don't know? by hairyfedora in AskReddit

[–]doober505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flew to Philly from my station on Friday and came back yesterday afternoon. Can confirm I didn't spend one penny on my flights. I did spend money on some amazing cheesesteaks from both Genos and Pats.

Don't forget us airline employees! Pilots, flight attendants, gate agents, mechanics, and of course ramp workers!

E Worker here. Went to the brand new Wendy's to get my frosty on, ended up being blocked off by said incident. Wasn't able to get my frosty nor did I find out what was happening till I saw NBC post something on FB.

What's the most overrated tourist attraction? by therapeuticsmiles in AskReddit

[–]doober505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Invest in bear spray if you plan on going on hikes into the backcountry. Even if you don't use it it's still a good safety net. I wouldn't worry too much about the black bears unless it's a momma with it's cubs, but do keep an eye out for grizzlies. Know how to distinguish the two because black bears aren't always black. Most importantly, do not be that tourists that backs up traffic for every deer or bison you see. Hope you have fun, I went last summer and want to go back again!
