I prefer a taxi to LAX because they take you straight where you want. Shuttles sometimes stop and pick up other people. My parents have taken a towncar before and it's not much more $ than a cab, either.

If you're coming from west of Ontario, it is getting virtually impossible to get to the airport in anything but bumper-to-bumper traffic any time after 3 p.m. What should be a 45-minute trip from Arcadia turns into a 2-3 hour nightmare. Even with the newly completed 210 freeway extension, the traffic volume is just ridiculous. Although the journey to LAX is more harrowing in the number of freeway changes, going through the downtown spaghetti junction, etc., it is still a much quicker trip. Sad, because Ontario itself is a very civilized little airport.

I don't think it's "totally uncalled for and ridiculous" because it appears to be the fifth such incident in little over a month Post 17 and Post 35.

LAX is the world's fifth busiest airport World's Busiest Airports by Passengers.

Soooooo .. are there any hints that Homeland Security is delving deeper into the backgrounds of all those employees at LAX ..??

These 5 glitches were preceded by a couple of other power outages a few months back - if I remember correctly!

The reason I say that is because I didn't hear or read about any of these problems currently .. but I remember hearing news about other area blackouts.

The FAA has backup generators tied to PCS units which provide seamless power to the center and separate ones for the field radar; I helped install one such unit on Imperial Bl.

The concessions are on their own.

Onedoug, are you near LAX and did you lose power? If you are near the airport and if power was lost, then it is quite a coincidence. This thread was begun one year ago on September 2, 2006.

I had airport clearance and controlled the access codes at the time.

The PCS-trained field crew did the actual work.

The Academy in Oklahoma City trains the PCS crews, a six month course.
