I say let the valves chatter away.
Same. I’ll call twice to remove the air. If after 2 calls and 10 minutes, it’s not unhooked, oh well. I can’t see the air hooked up so I’ll assume it’s off. By the way, I see MX constantly running the APU bleed with air hooked up.
Way too much slack being picked up by the pilots, it’s the curse of the Type A mindset for many. And we wonder why policies come thru to have pilots stay on the plane until all the passengers are deplaned. Thankfully this has been changed, but we have to stop picking up there slack time after time.
