This podcast is outdated, right? It talks about the Brandenburg airport as if it had not finished. The deeply troubled airport is in fact open and in full service since 2020.

#22Oh this is an article about how someone else screwed up an airport? I was hoping to learn how to mess them up myself :(
Using F#
(edit: This made sense before someone uncensored the title)
Re: How to fuck up an airport
#23Best way: close the actual city airport that was functioning like a well-oiled machine and was loved by the city population. Even better, do it against their explicit wishes with a shady decision that reeks of corruption. Any follow-up to that will always end up being "fucked up".
> functioning like a well-oiled machine and was loved by the city population You can’t possibly mean Tegel? I’ve never met anyone who has used Tegel who didn’t think it was clearly the worst airport in the world. I used to literally avoid doing any business in Berlin because Tegel was so painful.
You have a very weird circle of associates. Schönefeld was always the bad airport and now the Brandenburg airport took over that title.
Tegel was always the quick and convenient one.

#24Can we take a moment and ponder over why the title is censored? Why are we all okay with this? Who are we protecting, who are we trying to deceive? Why is it fine with everyone, that a youtube SNL skit is bleeped out?
What THE FUCK has gotten into us? Either use the word, or don't use it. Show the video, or don't show it. We should all stand tall for our (fought for) rights, this isn't the fucking 60s.

> close the actual city airport that was functioning like a well-oiled You mean which Berlin's airport? As Berlin-native for few years I used the Schönefeld numerous times... and the staff there was some mixture of rude primitive sadists. Behaving towards passengers as if they're taking revenge for something. I just want to fly out of here, you cunt.
Well, Tempelhof closed ages ago so there was only one city airport.
Schönefeld is not in Berlin.

#26I just landed in BER 20 minutes ago and I am just amazed how bad the signage is
The signs tiny and all in the same red/white color. The monitors tiny and sparse.
The placement of the tickets for the trains placed where you do not pass. And just good luck if you go down the wrong stairway and then reached the nowhere, without any visible signs.
They cared about the CI way more than about fast passenger throughput.

> in full service
Have you been there? It’s a bit of a weird ghost-town. Definitely not quite in ‘full service.’

#28I have another method. Let everyone go during covid and then attempt to re-hire them all on less generous terms after the fact. Looking at you DUB (and no doubt many others).
> to re-hire them all on less generous terms after the fact
How executives get away with these decisions... and it's Europe wide situation if not worldwide. Of course from the perspective of executives the COVID era was a success because they fetched government bailouts, then diluted the companies' shares. Great success! bonuses followed.

Are you sure?
These things are cyclical. For example, I would say we are way more prudish and puritan than we were in the 90s.
