NICKNAMES

Oldhawker, we probably know each other, I was at BWI for a good many years, also in the maintenance dept. I agree, BWI was a great place to work. A few more nicknames, (I've been trying to dredge up the distant memories): Little E (Big E's son, for real), the Boom, Little Hitler mentioned by someone else in this thread was in BWI for a time, so was Pete the Greek. Fletch, Chicken House, the Frog, Rasta-man, the Worm/the King. Remember the Zone names? Mole Hole (the Mole was the lead that worked out of that zone and the ready room was a definitely a hole in the wall), the Fishbowl (with the windows everywhere and plopped right in front of the foreman's office) and the Dark Side (the ready room was called 'the come and get your feelings hurt' room).
 
I heard about one that was famous in BWI in my station. I heard the story too. It had something to do with an airline party.
