Why on earth would you pick a profession that would make you one of the most reviled people on earth?

Clearly, my option next time I pack Milk Duds. However, I had no idea they were so dangerous!

How many Milk Duds fit in a quart baggie?

We had Milk Duds in our Halloween candy bowls in flight ops. On Monday I am going to scrounge up as many as I can and then subject myself to the TSA checkpoint. How much fun would that be

If you're not in solitary, report back on how it goes.

OK. I'm sure I'm not the 1st to post about this, but I have to vent for just a sec. Why does every red-eye I take through ATL gate at either A or B, but the showers are in E?

I know, I know; 1st world problem. ...but at 0630, after flying all night, I get cranky!

Rant over...

Sometimes you get to choose the career, and sometimes the career chooses you. I'm not a financial auditor by the way.

Be sure to swallow some Milk Duds whole before you do it, since you obviously enjoy cavity searches.

Not sure I like the location of the DL Skyclub in BOS- I am out of A10 but the SC is about 1/4 mile away.

The good news is, I'm finally home. The bad; I missed the UG by 1. In the ~10 mins it took me to get from the SC in E to my gate in B, somebody slipped in ahead of me. <sigh>

I haven't been to the BOS SC since the NW days. Is it still where the old WorldClub was? I only used it once, on my way to AMS.

While not an expert, the vast majority of the mainline flights (and international flights) depart from A13 TO A22, and are situated near the SkyClub. Yes, BOS-AMS is always (or seems to be) A14.

The gates on the other side of the tunnel, are mostly shuttle, regional jet and United (ex-Continental routes).

I guess, I seldom leave from those gates, so it doesn't bother me.

IIRC, there was a 2nd SkyClub where the United Club is now (near those "low" number A gates).

You are thinking of the old NW operations in Terminal E. Most of those (previous NW) gates are now used by WN. That lounge was a 1980s dungeon.

Now I am now in T2 at JFK and my flight to MCI is out of Gate 66. OMG the Skyclub is in a very convenient location!!

Before you ask - I am drinking Gordons and Tonic
