Bart, I know others have thrown this out to you, and so will I. I will redeem an award on UA to get you to EWR thru IAD (with ample time in between for you to check out IAD) and connecting thru DEN on the way back, whenever you want.
If enough of us offer to fly you around the country, and you take us up on it, maybe you'll see we're not blowing smoke with what we say.
Super
LOL. Bartworld is something that has existed for me throughout my life. During all four of my commands, I made it very clear to my subordinates that they were now in Bartworld and I was their God; there were no other gods but Bart and Bart's Law was absolute. I've toned it down with my non-military coworkers in TSA, but the translation is the same. Whether I'm in charge at the checkpoint or baggage screening pod, they are in Bartworld. My screeners clearly understand this simple philosophy.
Bart follows the SOP, but Bart also reserves the right to make common sense intepretation of the SOP which may vary from the way other leads and supervisors interpret the SOP.
It's been a successful recipe for me throughout my life. Why fix it if it ain't broken?
