Ask the guys who sucked the PC Air hose through the engine during start at the gate (3-5 million in damage) how that investigation would have gone had they released the brakes to get on the clock before the event happened.
Again, I may be misunderstanding your point, and if I am disregard
Of course you gloss right over the real purpose of my post regarding our full term strikers but yes I do follow SOP. When all the doors are closed and push is imminent, off go the brakes. It's the scared of their own shadow types who are too terrified sitting there all bottled up for 20-30 mins not getting paid who I'm referring to. For all the bravado on not doing your paperwork in the crew van I'm surprised at the very weak response from your side regarding this? Shouldn't you be paid once all the doors are closed and you are fully responsible for all on board?
