If kids want to visit the flight deck and time permits, of course I’ll welcome them.
Aren’t we still on the clock 30 minutes after our in time? And aside from that you’re losing sight these people are paying your salary. Take 20 minutes and personally thank them for flying Delta. It’s the right thing to do. Plus, we are supposed to stay until last person deplanes unless there is an operational need to leave early. Don’t use lame excuses like industry standard. There’s a reason we are not industry standard and it’s little things like standing in the doorway and thanking our paying passengers.
