The IRS is the modern day incarnation of the KGB, Stasi and the Gestapo. The primary difference is people only get marched into psychological ovens and gulags which often is a fate worse then death. The IRS cannot do anything that Congress has not legislated. PERIOD. Every little regulation...

Government health care? Have you ever tried to call the IRS about anything? How about Social Security? Anyone who advocates government run health care needs to go spend a day at the local Motor Vehicle Admin. or hang out at a walk in IRS office. I had a good friend who lived in Canada who was...

Robbed Again, you know who I am, I stopped and talked to you on the ramp when you first arrived. Never talk to mgmt w/out a union rep. BWI has been short since I've been there. Many a time I have worked the ramp with only 3 people total, including commuters on a Saturday night. We are getting...

Tony B, Thanks. I lived at the Marine Corp Air Station across the river as a kid, and spent a month in the Lejuene hospital after a nasty car accident.

We had a guy called "pockets" because he always had his hands in his pockets. Another guy got the name "money shot" cause he left his badge lying around by accident and one of his buddies xeroxed it and pasted the head shot onto some nasty german smut pics. The resulting images were posted on...

Apparently, the pax received a text message "joking" about a bomb. The pax then told his niece on the phone about the text and she called it in. This must have happened in the boarding area or during pushback. No one in BWI knew anything was happening until the flight was in range to CLT, and...

One of our ramp guys in BWI went to Southwest (one of their busiest stations) and he says that they work more flights but that the procedures make it easier than US. As a new guy still on probation he gets all the crap and he says it is still easier than US. To be fair, US is chronically short...

NO concessions until we are forced by the black shroud and sickle of bankruptcy! Why should I pay for unnecessary managers and idiotic decisions? There has to be a basic minimum value for what we do and we are there now. Freedumb, I remember you prattling on and on about your little raise and...

I agree that the glory days are long gone, although presentation goes a long way.Some of the procedures put into place have not been very well thought out. Implementing the drink charge looks to be a rolling nightmare. Cash only, F/A's making change, inventory, and the increase in drink service...

Most of the employees posting here would love to bring back the days of excellent service with all of the amenities to treat our FF's the way they should be treated. Management has hobbled every aspect of this operation, both above and below the wing. A lot of the frustration that is being...

Does this apply to those who work in the Tower at BWI?

Freedom, This is an idiotic idea. USAir is famous for poor employee relations and this will just add fuel to the fire. Mergers have been tanked because oal employees would do anything not to work for us. In my station we can't hire enough people at this low wage. The bulk of the applicants...

It would be helpful for the voting locations and times for each station to be posted on this board. If you know the time, date, and location for your stations vote please post it here. As soon as I can find out when my station votes, I will post it as well. BTW, Canale Finale Rally is a...
