All true, but UPS loads the planes at the hubs too, and some of those folks... I called them "minimum wage rock stars" for a reason. In any case the pilot should closely supervise and then physically close and latch the doors themselves. And while I was there they retrained when someone gear upped a chieftain (according to what I heard), so I doubt a few pounds would get you fired.
