Herc, it's easy. Just ask the gate agent if everyone is accounted for and if they say yes the close it up and block out. If you're waiting on a tight misconnect then they’ll tell you. There are many things that a pilot has to remember but two of the most important ones are, don't screw the PAX and make as much money as you can. We aren't salary and we don't get paid what we're worth so make your own raise. 5 minutes early isn’t going to kill anyone but it sure does add up when it comes to your paycheck.
