Well, that’s true also.

There was one occasion where I had the JS, another offline pilot had already gone down before me. The agent said I couldn’t go down. I said “yes I can”.

Well, she had an absolute fecal fit, called the supervisor, threatened to call security, etc.

When I wrote the JS committe (among others) about it , they weren’t really surprised.

Grabted, it was an offline pilot in this situation. But don’t EVER doubt an agents ability to take their “authority” waaaaaay too far sometimes;
