It's at B7 or B9. You can see it through one of the windows going up the ramp.

Us Air sponsored Nascar

the cafeteria and waffle cone ice cream stand in Charlotte

Ideas that fly

being able to have your birthday off by choice with pay

feeling like you were part of a fun family......talking 20 years ago...those were the days.

ice cream being served on east-west flights......in COACH!

the psa inflight magazine that featured an employee each month...how cool was that??!

our original term pass travel card...looked like a folded business card with your info typed on it

metro jet, sizer boxes and business select

the long ass ugly connector hallway at CLT from B to C concourse

the Safeway/PSA/US Air promotion

Every nasty put down customers could come up with about US Air..which you still might hear every now and then....It would be nice if that could go away forever!!!!!

the days when passengers purchased tickets and flew...WITHOUT ever showing ID....pretty scary!

Actually Piedmont sponsored Nascar way before US Airways.

The Piedmont Car actually won the Winston Cup with Terry Labonte driving it, in 1984.

Actually I think Ricky Rudd was the fist PI Nascar Driver???

Terry Labonte and Sterling Marlin, not sure about Ricky, nothing mentioned in his bio.

Yep he was the frist

 

[GoldenRam94]

Yep he was the frist

He was even number 3 and ran for Richard Childress before some guy name Dale took over.

That is correct, Rudd was the first one followed by Labonte and then Marlin. I think that Rudd was with RCR at the time he drove for Piedmont. After the merger in 1989, US Air thought the whole NASCAR deal was a waste, so the scrapped it for a while before getting back into it.

That is the ironic part. Rudd was with RCR, but Dale went to RCR and brought the Wrangler sponsorship with him. Rudd went to Hendrick Motorsports, and Labonte had the Piedmont sponsorship fall in his lap when he ran for Billy Hagan. Labonte would edge out Earnhardt for the Cup Championship in 84 and Rudd would bring Hendrick his 1st win. But like the modern US management team we have grown to love the team would cease to exist, then be reincarnated with superstar drivers Davy Jones, Ted Musgrave and a parade of never weres!

The F-28-1000 with fiberglass bin floors.
Laying down in the rear bin to load it and then itching all day from the fiberglass.

 

[700UW]

The 4000s had the fiberglass bins too.

The old right your own blue non-rev travel pass. Was it the TP-37A? I can't remember if that code was for non-revving or for COB postings. The number just sticks...

How about the wonderful employee cafeteria in SFO above the ticket counter! The best Mexican food north of the border. We would all run up there to get a big burrito before leaving SFO! Good grub!
