Despite the video title, it's not a Delta pilot. It's hard to make what he's saying, but it basically looks like he isn't getting on the flight.
1:42 "this is frustrating, I've never left you guys behind when you're in the back"
2:15 sounds like hand slamming the desk
3:52 "that's an MD80, right? "No, that's an Airbus." and then more arguing, with her finally saying "I'm just trying to do my job."
If you're arguing 4 minutes with a gate agent about getting on a flight, you already lost. If it's a DH, call scheduling and get them to fix it. If it's nonrev or jumpseating, walk away and take the next flight. What does one hope to accomplish by arguing?
I took the video and took out the background noise, this is what I could make out to the best of my ability.
If anyone else wants to take a crack at it just download the audio from the video into the sound editor of your choice. I used audacity with a treble cut EQ.
***THIS ARE NOT EXACT QUOTES IT IS WHAT I COULD MAKE OUT AFTER EQUALIZATION***
agent; I have to check. I tried to put you on the standby list.
CA: I wanna wait to see if I can get on. Im skipping you guys.
agent; I cant. I tried to put you on the standby list, I cannot put you on the standby list.
customer: hes in public for god sakes show some respect man. your a pilot dude you work for delta show some respect.
agent; i turn my back for...{unintelligble}
pilot; i wish everyone at skywest had to [sounds like "deal with this for a week"]
pilot: well take a hike?
2:11 [sound similar to hand slamming on desk]
pilot: let me know my options i need you to help me
2:40 pilot: ill take a walk, ill...
pilot: got two of em (possibly referring to number of jumpseats on aircraft)
pilot: well {maybe or then] ill get lost thats what ill do.
3:52 "that's an MD80, right? "No, that's an Airbus." and then more arguing, with her finally saying "I'm just trying to do my job."
--from shyguys post
also going onto SGs post she says
agent:I am doing my job the way the company tells me...no it doe not work {like that?}
then gate agent says
that is not allowed...
But still regardless of what I heard on the recording its still def a TOTD move. Remember there are always other flights. THIS is why commuter clauses exist. So crews dont argue or berate gate agents who are just doing their jobs.
