Terrible Tips from the Ramp

[Burrito]

Just a few good ones I thought of while waiting for the last plane of my shift to land.

Tip #22: To ensure the aircraft comes to a complete stop, place a chock in front of the desired stop line. For added effect, have one of your coworkers place a coin down and try to "stop it on a dime."

Tip #37: If your jetbridge doesn't have a FOD bucket, just use the bin.

Tip #43: If the fuel panel fails to power on during fueling operations, drop the drip sticks. Then, simply continue fueling the aircraft until sticks line back up with the wings.

Tip 37 seems to be implemented a lot. There are always crunched water bottles, soda cans, and random garbage in the bins! Would it kill you to put your trash in you cargo pant pockets and dump them in the nearby fod bucket later?

One time I jumped in the bin and witnessed what looked like an exploded rice bag. RICE EVERYWHERE!!

#43 may result in damage to the aircraft, if I remember my training on the fuel system properly.

#32 if a bag feels like it weighs 80lbs easily but the heavy tag is no where to be seen, it's 30lbs.

Stand downwind of all lav ports. And as always, closely inspect for obstructions as soon as you open the flap.

You did say terrible advice, right?

During the holiday season, use a red stick and a green stick set of nightwands together to let everyone else know how jolly you are on the ramp!
