When I worked for Amtrak in San Francisco, at least once a week a passenger or two showed up at 0800 for the 2020 departure.

Last time I was at Sea-Tac (Seattle) International Airport in January, departure/arrival times were AM/PM. Few years ago my friend and wife took his father-in-law to Sea-Tac for a flight. They left in time to have him catch the 6 AM flight, only it was scheduled to leave at 6 PM! Whoops! :) . ______________ ____ | | RICH KIM, Spatial Database Administrator \ | | | Washington State Department of Ecology | // | P.O.

Mike, I do not recall having ever seen a 12 hour clock on departure boards. Airports that I have used include London Heathrow, London Gatwick, London City, Frankfurt, Paris (Charles de Gaulle), Johannesburg, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Madrid, Alicante, Rome (Leonardo da Vinci), Naples, Lagos, Luxembourg, Durban, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Dublin, Hannover, Geneva, Basle, Edinburgh. Maybe we just use different airports - you will notice that there are no American airports in that list.

Really? I've never seen the 24 hour clock used on departure boards for flights. I've seen it used by pilots yes but never on a departure board. But it's been a couple years since I flew so maybe it's changed Mike On 3/20/07, m. f. moon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Aviation uses 24-hour clock every where in the world including the USA. marion moon ------ Original Message ------ Received: Tue, 20 Mar 2007 09:46:35 AM PDT From: Scott Hudnall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[email protected] > Subject: [USMA:38290] RE: Brand New Phone, 12 Hour Time. I've noticed 24-hour time format used pretty regularly in the United States in work environments that operate around-the-clock, such as hospitals, public utilities, manufacturing plants, server farms, etc. Scott On Tuesday, March 20, 2007, at 09:15AM, "Remek Kocz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >In Poland 24h time is used for day to day activities.
