To all the employees that may be on here and work in TPA, I just want to say thanks. Whenever I come through that station I get treated like gold, as do my family when traveling on a buddy pass or on my term pass. There are some really great agents down there. I sent my sister and her boyfriend down to see the Rutgers-South Florida game this past weekend. They came to the airport and saw that the flight to Philly was cancelled. She told me they were seamlessly re-routed through Charlottle with a smile and were assured that they would get home with no problem. Usually when I have people traveling on buddy passes and this happens I receive frantic and panicked phone calls because no one will help, but this has happend on a few occasions where TPA comes through and they certainly make my life a lot less stressful!
Thanks TPA!

I have never worked in TPA but was born and raised in the TPA area so I have been non-revving regulary out of there since 1985 and the above posts are correct, great station and great agents (Pretty great airport as well)

I do agree, the TPA agents are some of the best on the system. I have been flying thru TPA as a non rev since the mid 80's and have always been treated well.

TPA question –
What was the story on the fellow who had his name and photo on a plaque near the door to the ramp? No need to mention names.
Odd, but it never occurred to me to ask anyone when I was there.

Thanks guys, I'll pass on the good words.
The picture on the wall in the ramp room was of the Ramp Manager from many years ago. He died in a car accident.
They have another one up there now of one of the ramp guys that had about 22 years with the company who died of cancer a couple of months ago.

I agree, Bob. The last time through there (many years ago) they saved my business partner's and my butts. I always looked forward to going through TPA!

Stopped by to say hello today, but alas, no tadjr. Just about the time you were posting this too.
I just flew out of TPA the other day. Was shocked to see that US has like 6 gates there. They could easily expand that station if they wanted to.

It wasn't all that long ago that US used to have that whole concourse except for a few gates that AA had (IIRC).
