I'm sure who ever reported the story still knows it as the Crown Room...D.C. lives in its own world...

I just love that someone actually has to deal with the fall out of talking too loudly on their phone while in the lounge!

Wait a minute, did he say the lounge is a public place??? I thought it was a private oasis FROM the public. Oh, man, I guess I can't use being a SC member as a "I'm Cool" label anymore

I actually made money off a somebody speaking way too loudly on his cell phone at the FLL SkyClub.

During the conversion the Gentleman dropped enough hints that I was able to short the stock and made money when the stock fell due to the issue the Gentleman was discussing on his phone.

So, while annoying it cane be profitable.

Well, these are rude people and most likely head gangers when young, as they have a serious hearing loss.

That's head bangers sir! Now we've become Doctors, Lawyers, CEO, Engineers, etc. The lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden is an airline pilot. Buckle up!

Careful. Trading on nonpublic info, regardless of how received can get you in trouble. Exec who talks about such things in public without proper authorization should be fired.
