As an employee of the legislative branch, you should have realized that no employee of the executive branch ever said anything to you that was truly "off the record." We figured you didn't know any better; so we told you what we wanted you to hear - always "off the record."

I've pacified the CATCOPS for going off the "make you jealous" topic...
Maybe we should start separate posts for the debate between IAD and DCA or Ronald Reagan or whatever that airport's called this month.
And a second post for the political debate.
I'll won't discuss politics but I'll say ditto to the Cat HISS opinion of IAD. My big thing is arriving two hours EARLY to get the stupid bus to make my connection. The only thing I like about IAD is that old futuristic (for the 60's) styled terminal. But between the bus and the crowds and the narrow corridors and jumping over passengers sprawled out in the walkways to make my plane. CATMAN

Well, I'm spoiled then. I lived in Reston, VA. for years, so IAD was always just right down the road and it was DCA that was a pain to get to. Heck, I had to drive 20 mins just to get to the bloody Metro station and then it was another 1-1.5 hours trying to get down there.
Ditto on the whiplash MattWald. approaches to DCA rank right up there for me with places like MRY, CNS and AYQ(although on this last one you don't run the risk of going off a cliff or into the drink)
It's like practicing carrier approaches or
something...

Takes me longer to get from the street to the plane at IAD than it does to get from home to the plane at DCA (or at most other airports I've used). They've expanded the terminal at IAD, but you still have to use those **** busses to get to mid-field, and when you come back, there's one escalator going down to baggage claim and the street.
