Hopefully you won't get uniforms! Still, you'll be super cool either way. :3

I'm hoping they'll forget to deliver them or something since this is a relatively small station

:D Maybe Reno or Rude can make them disappear?!

I hope so

During my trip I got to see a guy changing a light bulb on the wing of the plane I was already in. The guy took sooooo long to get there. I wondered if he had been called in from home to do it. I remembered you telling me the mechanics didn't necessarily stay at the airport.

[turkmikari]

It is very likely he was called from home. Basic maintenance, cleaning and inspecting can be done by the land crew, who also load luggage, though there is a specific person for fuel. Repairs are not something that is needed with every flight so it would be a waste of $ to keep the mechanic there all the time doing nothing. It may cause delays to call him from home, but it is overall cheaper.

I told R that... he was annoyed! :)

how long did you end up waiting?

Last time we had to wait a long time it was almost an hour and a few people started complaining about possibly missing connections. Though I'm pretty sure they all made it... if they ran.
