Pilots routinely do these jobs: gate agent, dispatcher, local operations agent, ground security coordinator, catering coordinator, and most of all - customer service.

Some even manage to do their own job while handling most of ops for Spirit. Others, believe me on this, neglect their own job in order to do things like running to the next airplane for a couple bottles of water.

Of course, the most often seen example is the continual begging for paperwork.

Those areas of operation only belong to pilots on the last leg home in order to catch a commute.
