In the past the freight is considered a struck good. If I know its on the plane I would have it removed, the problem will be in the knowing. The Amerijet pilots would have to see it being done and call my union who hopefully would call me. In the old days a guy would just walk across the ramp, security probably would stop that now, or the loaders would tell the crew.
IPA pilots have in the past, via our union, let UPS know if they want an airplane to not move or be delayed just put struck freight on the flight.
