I used the restroom while in the terminal then went back out. We blocked out 1 min late... I got a call the next day from CP's office. That's Horizon for sure. I was asked specifically about the jumpseater. I claimed the delay was because I felt ill before push and had to use the airport bathroom, and just happened to see the SWA guy when I went in. I could hear the defeat in CP's voice after that answer.
If anything should be contagious, it should be resourcefulness like this! That and of course managers who know how to file petty phone calls like this under “Efff It”.
