Lumping them all together and saying they are just on a power trip is retarded at best.
and the attitude of, "the plane is on the gate, its under my control" Is 100% correct. They are responsible for the flight. Im not saying this one wasnt being a douche, or it was or was not weight critical.
Im just pointing out that Alot of Gate agents, specially here at BNA will go and do go out of their way to help flight crew.
Did it for a long time I chewed out a capt for telling me to **** the airlink passengers that had been waiting for a saab and a RJ that never showed up. All he carried about was a quick turn so he wouldnt get stuck in the blizzard. next thing you know we turn him MSP shuts down due to weather we get two diversions and dont have the gate space to bring him back to the gate. He got what he deserved.
