Hmmm.. Not expecting to get on... How
last minute were you? Did the crew have their numbers? Were all pax and nov-revs, if any onboard with the main entry way ready to be closed? Last leg of a six leg day? Was the captain giving line training? Did the captain want to finish the day to catch a flight to his home town for his days off? Were you worth the captain for being written up for a delay so you could get on his flight?
File a report with your company’s jump seat coordinator if you think you have a legitimate gripe.
