Here at JB we have culture. A culture of screwing each other over every time. I bet that crew lands at destination 30 early today and blue gloves the F out of the airplane. So if you plan on commuting on JB, expect to get left behind. It’s our culture.
That is some BS! I’ve only had to email the crew a few times, and the majority of time they all waited and looked to make sure I got on. I recall only one time I got left behind by a crew, both happened to be non-commuters, which might have explained why.
What drives me nuts is when working a flight and the gate agent comes on with all the paperwork and asks if we are ready to go, and I look up at the Screens and see -00:19 mins to departure and you tell me 2 pax won’t make it. I know you can close the flight 15 mins early, but if you are down here at 19 prior, you are not closing 15 early you closed probably at 20 early.
