Especially when its 120° or 5° in the jet bridge. I have never seen OAL do this. They put the brake on and leave.
Oh I totally agree. I’m not what some would call a “people person”. If I were king for a day we would just walk off after the parking checklist like the AA guys do, and never have to see each other at all. I’m not a fan of the jetway secret handshake. I’m sure it was essential to do the pit crew airplane swap back when there were 10 minute turns. But with most of our turns pushing an hour, I’m 100% with you.
