He asked again nicely- ops same response.
He then said im not releasing the brake until they are on, it's up to you how late we are going to be- ops agent left, closed the door and pulled the jet bridge back.
cpt sat there and stared out the windows at him for 10 min until the ops agentcame back and let the pax on.
I tried to buy him a beer that night, but this guy was so old school he bought us all beers.
That's who I said I wanted to be like when they asked us in upgrade
Love it. I’ve gone up with the plane logbook and sat in the boarding area and told them I wasn’t going back down and that plane wasn’t moving til the pax were on. Amazing how good that works…
