And I have too. And I don't allow myself to get rushed or pushed. You're a big boy, deal with the interruptions of getting fellow pilots home or to work. If we go late, we go late, but we go when I'm ready, and I'll never hear a peep about it.
That would be a nice ASAP close out. “You’re a big boy, deal with it better.”
task interruption has been a hot topic in the past. It’s just funny to me that checking ID’s of people in the back is seen as necessary when we are supposed to be focusing on things up front. It just adds to the multiple things that can break a preflight pattern.
Anyway, slow your roll dude. I’m just showing the absurdity of making one group check in while another walks on through when the destination is the same. It’s like this where I work as well.
At, swa, is an OAL FA a non rev or FA jumpseater? If non rev, why wouldn’t a pilot with C31 be considered one?
full disclose, I check in no matter what. And, I understand doing what manuals say. That doesn’t mean the process couldn’t be better.
