I should have said " I gotta ask the next guy, How in the heck can you be weight restricted on a clear day on a 200 mile trip and leave a paying customer and my whiny butt too?" All kidding aside I appreciate the job you guys do, and I have the utmost respect for each of you. Also for the record, I didn't actually break the slide so the other guy couldn't ride my jumpseat.....I made my first officer do it.
No problem. The only thing that bugged me about what you said is giving the next 9e guy an earful. I just took that as you giving the guy a hard time when he comes begging for a ride. Just a misunderstanding then.
I do agree with you though that the captain should have been more alert or at least man enough (or woman) to tell you what the deal was instead of just disappearing. Once again I am sorry that you got left and when I make the next trip to BNA you wont be left behind if I can do anything about it.
On a side note we can now use the delta sand bags in DTW so that should help a lot of guys up there.
