No one asked me about the "Blitz."
I find it comical. I do my job the same way every day. No different. Some times we are on time, sometimes not. The on time statistics do not start with me, but it does end with us....pilots.
1. Ramps inability to get the bags/cargo on.
2. Constantly waiting--required to wait for final Haz mat on ACARS before pushing.
3. Inability for ramp to deliver a plane on time to the gate from MX base
4. Don't even get me started on cabin cleaners.
5. Can't board without catering complete.
6. Gate agents inability to check bags on a full 777 and then amazed we leave late.
7. Can't board when short of flight attendants--because their connection is late. The best is when they are on the ramp waiting for your gate!
8. No or late MRD.
9. Water and lav service. Really?
10. But my favorite lately, Can't find the copilot because they are at the wrong place for a domestic departure in SFO. Larry and his annex antics....
ON and on...
