For anyone that DH's out of Memphis for FDX, the company gives you one hour (for domestic legs), from check in at our flight operations building until your flight pushes back from the gate across at the pax terminal. Am I missing something? The airlines themselves are telling passengers to arrive at the terminal 75 minutes (domestic), to 90 minutes (international), before departure to get through check in and screening etc. Has anyone, lately, shown up right at the scheduled showtime, gone through with the normal transport to the pax terminal, and missed the sheduled DH? Was there a duty officer or ACP reaction at that time or later?
Maxkts said that his example was awhile ago and he still made the flight because it was late. Any recent cases? Are we still "expected" to show early at ops to make our DH. I am a commuter, but will traverse to the "Planet" next week to take the scheduled DH because of a low bank. I guess I will get to press to test.
