Why are unloading bags a priority over hooking ext and air to the plane when it’s 90+ degrees.
Ramp priority in hot weather
1. Chock AC
2. Signal Chocks in
3. Baby Strollers
4. Hook up ext and air
5. Bags
Parked MD88 today B7 1500, at 1510 inquired about pwr/air to special assist. 1523 last pax off, still no pwr/air. 1524 pilots depart plane. Still no pwr/air. Next departure 1645.
I know...I know write up a FCR.
Sorry, not sorry no FCR for Delta.

The stupid comments from passengers just adds to the aggravation and should be reason enough for added compensation!
“Shouldn’t you be flying the plane?”
“Don’t you get First class?”
“What’s your route?”
Etc. etc. etc.

A few months back, had a 717 arrive after us without a working APU. We had 2 Airbii in front of us, and after waiting 35+ minutes, the ground crew finally parked us, and the 717. Except the 717 got parked at the gate with no air or ground power. That captain was pretty lit on ops freq.

I say we demand 2x pay for economy middle seat and 1.5x for non Comfort+.
Only a monetary incentive will fix the problem.
