They were very short handed. Due to alot of sicks because it was so cold and many were doing forced doubles. Throwing a couple of bags isnt going to kill anyone and it was very much appreciated. Ill even carry a stroller up the stairs. Oh the humanity. See thats called working together. Something all you that work at FAILING airlines dont understand. The attitudes of you pre madona pilots is a joke. Maybe thats what got me hired. I have crossed seat belts and picked up trash. Not because I/we have to,but to help out. Plus I like to stay busy. Not look like I am doing that important time consumming pilot stuff. Again very much appreciated. Plus I have gone to get FA's food. Oh no why would a pilot help a FA? See what kind of lazy self centered individuals you are. What a joke. "You would be lucky to not find yourself face down on the ramp if you did that across town in ORD to United's rampers." I wouldnt expect anything else from aUnited employee
Not to mention the paying passengers. You know the people that pay the bills. They noticed what was going on. You have a duty to those people. Plus we wanted to get going. It was cold but we help. It was a handful of bags, bug it was very appreciated. Do I go down so SWA can do it with less people absolutely not. If they said can you go back up. I would have in a heart beat. But they said thanks for the help. You would have sat in your cozy little airplane sipping a Latte, probably laughing about how cold is was. Pretty sad if you ask me. The point of low manning was proven long before we helped the rampers. So that wasnt the issue anymore. Employee groups need to work hard together and get along. Then play hard.
