QUOTE " ARE THE KIOSKS WORKING YET"?
MY REPLY, "ONLY THE TOOTH FAIRY KNOWS". OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 8 TICKET PRINTERS ON THE DOMESTIC SIDE WHICH INCLUDES TICKET COUNTER AND SPECIAL SERVICE, NONE AT THE GATES!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL THING.

This week you could tell them that the Easter Bunny might know. He might find a working one on the Bunny Trail.

The "airport monitors" in TPA are the same way. The airport handles them and the info isnt correct from any of the airlines most of the time. The old HP flights show on there as a very old flight number and time and they cant seem to get it corrected. I've seen a DL/NW codeshare flight show two different times to the same city (NW leaving at 800am and the DL codeshare 827am or something weird). Not sure how the interface between the airlines and the airport work, but its not always accurate to say the least. Also there is a gap between the time our monitors are updated and the airports are updated to our times.
