Wow. There were tons of CA's that did this when I was there several years ago. I tried to explain to them the stupidity of this. They all acted like they were smarter than everyone else. Guess not. Another beauty is the guys that would hold the toe brakes and release then reset the parking brake to get the on time departure. When mainline said you had to call for push within a time limit from blocking out they would call for push and then cancel right after with a mountain of bags still sitting on the ground. And then there is the hand the paperwork out the window crowd. Sorry, I'm having flashbacks. They always thought there would be a prize waiting for them if they did these things.
