Most will remember the "old" CBC, but how many guys remember the OLD TBF?
At least that was on the correct side of the airport for our transport to the aircraft.

Those squeaky floor boards, suitcases outside in the hot, humid air.
Going upstairs for our mailboxes, computers.

Hey, where did that shoe shining machine go???

I quite liked the quaintness of the old TBF - the mailboxes rattling as you walked by 'cos the floor was shaking so much, waiting for transport outside in the humid 40 degree temps...

I should go into the soothsaying business. I predicted the once suitcase rule when I saw the style of bag check in they were providing, and sure enough...

I wonder how much extra fuel burn all those captains' golf clubs and second suitcases have cost the company over the years? Increased bonus for someone next year for plugging that particular gaping hole.
