I let him keep his seat and told him she probably hates Pilots. Up until recently it was not a positive space ticket home from training. I have waited for multiple flights home in the past. The AA way.
What did the jumpseat and professional standards committees say when you submitted your debrief? They’ll at least force the agent’s supervisor to educate the agent. There are rumors that a DFW agent was fired for repeatedly violating the pilot’s (and FA’s) contract for various deadheading violations (improperly running the priority list, not allowing pre boarding, making stuff up about deadheading in uniform, etc). You did the debrief, right?
We’ve been positive space to/from training for at least a decade. How “recently” are you talking about?
