The ABIA Thread of Gross Incompetence

[Biff Tannen 45661]

Just picked up people at 10pm on a Wednesday night and the arrivals line was an absolute fuck show.  Line stretched out to the short term garage exit. People literally parked perpendicular to the curb to pick up passengers. Wtf? 
 

Security was at their wits end trying to direct these morons.

It doesn't help that (when I was picked up at ABIA two weeks ago) there were lots of cars parked along the pickup zones, clearly waiting for people in the terminal still going thru baggage claim, etc.  These idling assholes blocked the curbspace needed for people who were actually at the curb ready to get picked up.

We picked up and dropped off a passenger at the ABIA South Terminal before and after the 4th of July holiday weekend.  Amazing how easy that was.  Kind of like olden days.

Of course, the COA fought/litigated with a client of former Mayor Adler's firm to buy out their (very recently signed) long-term lease and make that terminal part of the overall suckage that ABIA has become.

Good times.

The new TSA setup at ABIA is a total shitshow. They’ve ruined clear and fucked that up, now TSA line is mile long. 
 

I ended up just going in through regular screening and got through in minutes vs what would have been 40 mins plus in TSA. 
 

Just so dumb.

I have had zero issues with the new setup, especially given they're working with one less checkpoint now. I don't pay for clear, just pre check, and it's always been 10 min max since the changes.

Pre took me 25 minutes a few Monday mornings ago. We flew out during spring break and it took 3 minutes.
