The NBA ones were always a good gig... I especially enjoyed the "I-5" flights (eg. SEA/SMF/OAK/LAX-PDX), since they were still fully catered, even though the flights weren't as long.. That usually equated to lots of good food for the rest of us.
A few thoughts about the NBA teams:
1. The Kings always tipped us.
2. The Pacers always had the 1st & 2nd year guys help us get bags/equip. from the bus to the belt.
3. The Grizzlies *always* (and I mean always) left something behind on the inbound A/C.
4. After 9/11, I learned that Allen Iverson doesn't carry ID, 'cause "everyone know who Allen Iverson is" (that was his quote to a TSA employee)...
Vittles aside, I'm glad they brought the NBA charters back; that's a consistant revenue stream that we can certainly use.
