What does it take to deliver award-winning cleanliness in one of the busiest environments imaginable—an airport serving millions of passengers each year?In this episode, ISSA Media Director Jeff Cross sits down with Derrick Deadwiler, Senior Vice President of Operations at Flagship Aviation Services, and Benjamin Robins, Vice President of Operations at Tampa International Airport, to discuss their collaborative success in earning ISSA's Spotless Spaces Award.At Tampa International Airport, cleanliness isn't just a task—it's a key driver of the passenger experience. With more than 25 million travelers moving through the airport annually, maintaining a consistently clean, welcoming environment requires precision, planning, and a deeply engaged team.Deadwiler and Robins highlight what truly sets their operation apart: partnership. Rather than operating as separate entities, the airport and Flagship function as one unified team, working side by side to continuously improve performance and elevate standards. From leadership walking the floors together to frontline teams taking pride in their work, this alignment creates a culture of accountability and excellence.The conversation also explores how training, long-tenured staff, and smart use of data and technology help manage the scale and complexity of airport operations. Just as important, both leaders emphasize recognizing and rewarding employees—because when teams feel valued, they perform at their best.For facility managers and service providers alike, the takeaway is clear: Strong partnerships, consistent processes, and a shared commitment to the end-user experience are what turn good operations into award-winning ones.Learn more here: https://www.issa.com/spotless-spaces/tampa_international_airport/#FacilityManagement #ISSA #SpotlessSpaces #AirportOperations #CleaningExcellence #CustodialLeadership #JanSan #OperationalExcellence #Teamwork

Tiffanie also discusses the role of AI in content creation, warning against using it as a writing tool while praising its value as a research assistant — as long as you always verify the citations.Guest Bio:Tiffanie Reynolds is the owner of MARCOM Consultants, a marketing and communications consultancy specializing in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. With over two decades of experience in marketing and communications, Tiffanie has worked across the AEC and business management consulting industries.

A snowball fight in Washington Square Park has blown up into a public clash between NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the NYPD.

Tampa International Airport joked about banning pajamas on flights yesterday and it sparked a debate. Do you think there should be a dress codes for airplanes?
Producer Josh updates us on a theme night for the Atlanta Hawks, puking at work, and a cry for help from the Tampa International Airport.

CC Sabathia's No. 52 officially getting retired by the Yankees, with the ceremony slated for Saturday, September 26 vs. the Orioles. The guys lay out why CC is an automatic “yes,” why the championship-count argument is lazy, and why being a first-ballot Hall of Famer going in as a Yankee ends the discussion. Calls roll in with pushback, Bernie vs. CC comparisons, and even a detour into whether A-Rod's number should be in the rafters too. From there, the show pivots to the Jets and the nonstop quarterback carousel, including the “bridge QB” debate around Kirk Cousins, what Frank Reich's presence means, and the bigger question Jets fans keep asking: is there finally a real plan, or is it just another year of vibes and wishcasting. More calls hit on roster direction, organizational competence, and who actually has the brighter future right now. And then, out of nowhere, Tampa International Airport becomes the main character, with a viral push to ban pajamas (and allegedly Crocs) from the airport. The guys argue comfort vs. common decency, draw a line between sweatpants and pajama pants, and spiral into the classic department-store holiday photo tradition that somehow involves showing up in matching pajamas. It's a full hour of Yankees pride, Jets anxiety, and one very heated etiquette debate.

On Sunday, July 27, Tampa, Florida, made history by hitting 100 degrees for the first time since record-keeping began in 1890. A day later, the thermometer at Tampa International Airport topped out at 95 degrees in the afternoon, a narrow miss for a second consecutive day of triple-digit heat. For Northern dwellers who dream of sunshine and beaches in the dead of winter, and even Floridians who boast about their heat hardiness, the fact that a Florida city had never officially reached 100 degrees came as a surprise—and for many, disbelief.

When Manatee County got rid of bus fares- ridership went up. And it's not the only place in Tampa Bay where more people started taking the bus after fares went away. Hillsborough County made its most popular bus route, from downtown Tampa to the University of South Florida, free for this year, and ridership is way up. On this episode of Florida Matters, Manatee County Transit Division Manager Kevin Hoyt explains why it makes sense to get more people on the bus, even when they're not collecting fare revenue. And, Streetsblog USA senior editor Kea Wilson talks about how other transit agencies around the US have adopted the fare-free model, and the arguments for and against removing the fare box. Also, if you've driven the recently reopened Howard Frankland Bridge, you might have noticed it's built higher to withstand storm surge like Tampa Bay experienced during the last hurricane season. WUSF's Sky Lebron caught up with historian Rodney Kite Powell on top of the bridge, before it reopened to traffic. Hear how the original bridge, which opened in 1960, was built for a post-war population boom, much like the remodeled bridge is built to handle traffic for Tampa Bay's current population boom. And you'll get caught up on some of the latest transportation news from around the greater Tampa Bay region. Hear why the cross bay ferry is sailing for the last time, about efforts to ease traffic woes on the dreaded I-4 corridor, and how Tampa International Airport is dealing with animal problems.

The episode covers major updates in the travel and credit card world, including widely disliked changes to United's credit card portfolio, the return of National Car Rental's One Two Free promo, and various hotel promotions from Hyatt and Accor. Angie shares her recent Atlanta trip booked with points and previews plans for a fall leaf-peeping road trip.The heart of the episode focuses on the daily grind (and occasional chaos) of moderating a massive Facebook group. While most members are helpful and enthusiastic, the hosts explain the challenges of dealing with repeat questions, Facebook's finicky search and tagging systems, and limitations placed by certain banks that restrict how their products can be discussed. They also talk about how the group earns money—mostly through affiliate links and AT201 memberships—and encourage members to support the group by using their links and participating more actively. They wrap up with a reminder not to rely too heavily on autopay and to always double-check credit card payments.Links to Topics DiscussedUnited Airlines Card Portfolio OverhaulNational Card Retnal One, Two, free promotionHyatt 777 Bonus and other current promotionsAccor Live Limitless bonus point promotionWhere to Find Us The Free 110k+ member Award Travel 101 Community.

Veronica Cintron, Vice President of Communications at Tampa International Airport (TPA), sits down with Owen LaFave to discuss the $11 billion economic impact this award-winning airport has on the Tampa Bay region annually. Veronica shares her story of transitioning from a successful journalism career as a battle-tested news anchor to leading an aviation team during the 2020 pandemic when crisis communication began her first day on the job. She explains the social media secrets that allowed her team to give a government entity humor and personality, and shares how organizations can avoid information vacuums by speaking to the diverse needs of key stakeholders. Veronica also reveals upcoming expansions and new nonstop flights at TPA, as well as how the airport is driving the national conversation around an innovative, electric technology that may recreate “the future of mobility.” Finally, Veronica gives us the full scoop on how Florida's most famous flamingo got her name.
