Anyone ever plat airline mogul while in an airport?
I am in one right now, and I have got to tell you about this place. I am in Rock Springs-Sweetwater County Airport (RKS), in Rock Springs, Wyoming. According to AM, the airport served 38,916 PAX last year, but by the way it looks right now, you'd think they served all of 200 people. I am the only passenger at the airport. The only other people here are two TSA agents and two desk clerks. In real life, the airport is service by United (Denver), Great Lakes (also Denver), and Delta (Salt Lake City and Gillette, it is really the same flight but with a stop). I'll be the only passenger boarding the plane today. I am heading to Gillette, which is a very seldomly used flight, but since it is the same flight from Salt Lake city, it runs every day. Since most fflight leave in the morning, there is really nothing going on right now. I parked in the front row, less than 100 feet from the entrance, which is only about 40 feet from the check in kiosk, which is right next to security, which is 20 feet away from the door which opens onto the plane stand. From my truck door to the aircraft door is less than 200 feet. The plane I am flying on is a turboprop, a Embraer 120ER. I have a window and an aisle seat. I believe the plane holds 21 people, although I think AM says its more than that.
There are now six people at the airport, but the person that just arrived works behind the Hertz rent-a-car desk.
The airport, to my surprise, has a baggage carousel and a cafe, although neither are operating tonight. besides the two check in desks and the two car rental counters (the other one is Avis), there is a lobby with 46 seats (I counted just for the heck of it), and three gates, although it appears that gate two has been permanetely sealed off and gate three just leads iout to the parking lot.

Free wi-fi and free parking. Awesome.
There is a TV in the airport. one. The remotes are on a table in the middle of all the chairs.

Final story one this. Three people ended up boarding last night. The airport only has one plane stand. Also, this is the only flight entirely witthin the state of Wyoming. Fun time. Landed at Gillette-Campbell County (GCC) airport in Wyoming, slightly bigger than Rock Springs.
