Slippery slope from the new mandate that we supervise deplaning to folding seat belts and looking for syringes when it's in writing and becomes an accepted operating practice over time.
IMO we have a great group of CP's and I haven't heard of an undeserved NOI in years, which could all change overnight without anyone asking my opinion on the changes.
Regarding remaining on board until the last pax deplanes for international. Flying into FLL recently with a plane change. Our inbound late and after getting off and walking down G to the GUA turn, it's finishing boarding. Only FAs onboard with tepid air from the external air unit.
Hey, it's OK if we need to board, you don't have to be here. But you need to be on board when you get back from GUA until the last pax deplanes.
