No one junior (I assume) has a problem with the OCCASIONAL, last minute change due to delays, etc. but there are known bad actors, for some reason they seem concentrated in S FL, that do this routinely. That’s BS.

I had a guy get ****ed in FLL because he showed up six minutes to push (normal day, no delays) and I told him no, we already had two guys with their bags stowed. Six minutes? GMAFB, apparently he was one of the guys who pulls this all the time per the gate agent. If you have some seniority, be responsible about using it and no one will have an issue.
