There are two kinds of baggage: carry-on and lost.
No water for employees in CLT

A topic about Fleet Service getting water is now all about the flight crew.
Do 30 minutes in a 100 degree plus cargo bin and maybe you can find a way back on topic.

We've had a heat index well into the 120s for a while now in Phoenix (factoring in the effects of direct sunlight) and that's not counting the effects of the heat from the concrete which has a surface temperature of over 150 degrees. Man, I love the summertime.

No, this really is OT (I promise 😀 ) I've been hearing people say that the water on board is "for passengers only".
I believe the water is for Human Use! I will not deny anyone some water if they ask for it. I see the bag guys coming and going up and down the stairs all day (along with all the other things they do tirelessly) making sure the Winnebagos and strollers get checked. They usually come up to an un-air conditioned jetbridge, but they are grateful its at least 10 degrees cooler. I always offer water, most say no. But if they ask, I would never deny.
I don't envy anyone working under wing, anytime. Hats off to you and thanks! 😀

Thanks for the thanks and thanks right back atcha. B) I always appreciate being offered water but we've been told that accepting anything from the flight crew is tantamount to theft. Plus I already have my own jug of ice water rampside.
In PHX we have ice machines and purified water dispensers in each of the break rooms, and drinking fountains outside along the concourse, and the aforementioned juice cart (my it be praised). Am I to understand that CLT does not enjoy these same hydration options?
I keep my own container in my locker, fill it at the beginning of my shift, keep it in my work area, refill it as necessary, and then empty it at the end of my shift and replace it in my locker. Is this an impossible scenario in CLT?
