Howdy all - From Houston, TX. I'm a Service Engineer in the Printing & Food Packaging Industry. My job is 100% world travel, and I've been in the Business for 43 years now. I got tired of getting "nasty grams" from moderators when I voiced my feelings of how disgusting air travel is these days. I was simply told, "Don't fly if you don't like it" Yup, that's the answer. If I don't fly, I don't work. Ya'all seem like good folks. Think I'll stick around a while.
Welcome, Sky Dancer. Sorry to hear about your travails, both in the sky and at FT. Many of us here can relate.
Happy to have you Sky Dancer! Feel free to speak your mind around these parts. IMHO it's best to call a spade, well, a "spade".
Hi there and welcome. I can only hope that sometime in the future soon, we can look back on this period and say 'wow, that was a mistake' -like with Prohibition and other events. edit: correct auto-correct
Were you by any chance Houston.Business, the one Squeaky put down a couple days ago? You gotta tread lightly around those Manson chicks, although I must admit they're among our best recruiters. Welcome to TUG!
I sure was. Got repremanded for calling them Nazis. I asked Squeaky how Public Transportation checkpoints run by the TSA, differed from Transportation Checkpoints of late 1930's Germany. He said that was my opinion. I said, "Aren't FT discussions based on peoples opinions?" He brought to my attention, the rule change as of the month before last. Then he threatened to bounce me out due to my comments about Blogger Bob. I stated Bob was simply in charge of TSA "Damage Control" and the site was typical Propaganda. Seems Bob has wiggled his way into FT, and has sucked them in.
FT seems little interested in the truth especially when TSA or TSA employees are the topic. Perhaps FT is deriving income from TSA. edit to correct spelling
Even though Blogger Bob's personal info is all over the internet, I was once reprimanded for posting a link to some of that info. I argued that BB is a "public person" but apparently his membership of FT took precedence to his being a "public person." Do I believe that there is a relationship of some kind between FT and the TSA? Yes, I do.
Glad to have you join us! Most everyone here is a FT refugee as well so you'll be in good company. Best part is no dip stick mods!
