FlyChicaga,

Yes! I was working that day you flew into MDW and I was working that exact flight. It was me (younger guy)

and the Lead Agent who were the one's who had to get the bucket's of hot water to unfreeze the towbar linkages. Small world huh? How do you like flying for XJT now? miss Chicago Express? I plan to apply for an FO spot with XJT next year. I live in Northwest Indiana and commute to work but I'm up there like 6 days a week. Hit me back man!

I agree about the laziness spreading through all the ranks. I hope it didn't come off as just the rampers were lazy!

That's cool you guys worked the same flight that day. It certainly is a small world! I was working out of ORD and CWA those cold days! It was brutal!

Wow, small world dude! I remember that. I was so excited to be flying into MDW again. Man I felt bad for you guys that day, it was so dang cold out!

XJT is a great company, and a lot of fun to work here. It's been getting testy since this 69 airplanes announcement, with lots of people getting irritable and on edge. Plus, lots of "new" guys with all the turnover, so times are changing from what they were a year ago. Still a good place to work, so I hope we keep the 69 planes to bring more FOs like you on board soon!

Do you mean Dustin and Kyle from McAir?

Thats cool, tell'em I say hello. Have you been flying much lately? [wind]

not flying much right now, unfortunately. they keep raising the prices! I'm waiting on a friend of mine who is buying a Seneca and I'm going to finish up my training in that.
