Because they are unionized and know the system and how to play it. Unlike ALPA, their union is very strong. Get caught marshalling in an airplane at a gate you weren't assigned to and you'll be getting a phone call from the union the same day. Most of them are prior Executive Airlines guys and have been around for a LONG time.
