What makes you think the gate agent would tell the captain that I was a passenger if they all knew I was an employee of the airline?
There’s your break in the chain. You assumed the gate agent told the pilot. $100 they walked down to get away from you and never said a word to the captain. They just want to close the door and don’t care about anything else. Sorry about the experience. Sucks.
