When I was at ExpressJet we used to go double check the gate for folks but then eventually Continental started nixing that across the board. It was finally explained by the CPs office that its not our job to hold planes or look for people, its our job to fly the plane and if they want to run their airline this way then thats their call whether we like it or not. Sound familiar? Its not just Delta.
I've got to weigh in here. I've flown with a couple of LAX CA's that walk back up the jetway to check and make sure there are no more jumpseaters or nonrevs waiting to board before the push. I haven't seen any pushback from the gate agents. Most of the time, they say "ok, great we can get a couple more on." I do fly through JFK often and have seen some tension there but in LA and some of our other stations, it seems like a pretty good team effort to me.Originally Posted by forgot to bid
