This is a spacious, modern, well laid out working environment. It's to die for. This piece of real estate is located at Legacy Drive, Plano, Texas, a prestigious address.
Dallas is much more than South Fork and J R Ewing. It is a thriving, thrusting metropolis. Being the 8th biggest city in the USA, with a population of 1.2m, it makes Kansas looks like the backyard.
Dallas Forth Worth airport is huge. No wonder; it ranks as the 6th largest in the world. It has 5 terminals, each probably with about 40 gates, linked to each other by Skylink. If you are being picked up or dropped off, check which gate or else you will have a long walk.
Today, American Airlines was late. Of the 6 trips that I had made with AA, 2 of them were late. There was a last minute change of departure gate, and a mad scrambling to the new one. People knew what they were doing, so these gate changes seem like everyday occurrences. When flights are full, hand luggage space becomes a premium and the last passengers on board have to surrender their hand luggage to the hold. The boarding sequence was strictly hierarchical - first class, platinum, gold, silver, ruby, emerald, sapphire, etc. Actually I am joking because the gems have not seen day light yet. After the metals, it was priority access, followed by zoo class. Even the zoo class is categorised into groups, depending on whether it is front, middle or rear cabin.
