and along those lines.... had a pair trying to "inspect" the bird just as PAX were walking down from the gate... before they could come on the airplane they were made to fish out their ID which was inside their coats.... then promptly asked what type specific training they have had on this specific model aircraft? Can either of you even tell me what model aircraft this is? No, then how will know if something belongs, or not? Thanks for playing.... you're not qualified to be inspecting the aircraft, and may inadvertantly damage the aircraft; please step out of the way and allow my passengers to board, thank you. I think they went to get their supervisor, but we were outa there before anybody returned....
yep, had to go visit the CP.... Probably wasn't worth the aggravation in the long run... but it was satisfying at the time.
