Baltimore/Washington Airport Vs Birds
You would think that the Baltimore Airport would have the good sense to send a person or two to wash windows. There’s a huge amount of fly-by-pooping going on here, and the windows are heavily littered with said results of some bird’s aiming.
It is pretty amusing, especially when you take a walk around the terminal — this one clearly used to be the home of the dominant US Airways’ hub before Southwest came in, and pretty much knocked them on their hinny, and took over the market, and US Airways walked away with the tail in between their legs. Now this airport only fly to the US Airways hubs, and aside from United, Continental, and AirTran, is quite deserted, yet perfectly colored in the old US Airways gray/blue color.
It is sad how time changes, with nobody having the money to fix it up. ‘Course, Baltimore got it lucky — Pittsburgh was heavily hit, and can never make up for US Airways’ absence, even with Southwest and jetBlue, simply because the market has never been there to support such huge amount of flights back in the good ol’ days.
As you can see, my mind does wanders all over the place. Now maybe this will encourage someone to make sure they clean out the fly-by-shooting those darned birds keep doing.
