I remember standing at the aircraft doorway preparing to jump into the "north Atlantic" (aka pool), pulling the tabs and nothing! Changed vests, same thing nothing! Third vest the CO2 cartridge wasn't properly seated and it shot out of it's socket hitting me in the ribs. The fourth vest worked.

I remember having a stiff left shoulder for about two weeks after working with atldlff to pull everyone into the raft. At least I didn't pitch out of the raft and into the water as our illustrious leader did.
I also remember Canarsie and I working as gate agents on Concourse D and at a gate where we were boarding three different flights at the same time. I'm sure somebody who thought they were flying to Dothan ended up in Charlottesville.

I volunteered to work the gates in ATL again the Wednesday before Thanksgiving! Busiest Airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year, I am guessing I will see some REAL action then. A*TD

Yep, I am guilty! After sleeping maybe five hours over the four days, I realized how worn out I was when I couldn't even climb in that raft.

Well, it seems like some UA customers got to be gate agents and drive jetbridges:
