Im not sure where I would’ve looked besides MiCrew prior to push on the first leg. Once we pushed and they were asking about us operating, I’m not sure where the right place would be to look and see when the return flight lost its crew.

Apparently flight ops at the LAX base visit now says they are going to cut even more credit out to try to squeeze more out of the operation this summer.

I see no way how this well thought out plan could ever go wrong.

The only way this could go wrong is immediately.

Note that the "in" time is off the FIRST door that opens on the 320(321?). Watched the jet show --:-- for 11 minutes while waiting for a gate agent to show. Then, when the cabin door finally does open the IN time populates to the time that the cargo door was opened.

The one time this was a problem is when we were tight on the 9 hours of block. The BOS Station Manager, a Gate Agent and one more were all piled into the flight deck to ensure the door was not closed until push was imminent. On arrival in Atlanta some guy ran for the fwd cargo door while we were still 10 feet from the gate and opened it. We of course stopped the jet, had to talk to folks to get the door closed, to continue taxi.

I don't have the letter in front of me, but the FAA gives an allowance on FAR117 for taxi in delays. This wasn't helpful. Would really like to know who told this ramper to pull this move, but I was too tired to play Perry Mason and it kinda isn't my job.

Filed an ASAP. Given that we taxi on the right engine that kind of thing is going to get someone hurt. The ramp is a scarier place than people realize late at night when the weather is bad.

Cargo door does not factor in for times on the bus.... and we SE taxi on the left engine. If something forces you to have to SE taxi on the right engine on the bus, it is only allowable for long enough to get to a place to start the other engine.

The 737 SE taxis on the right engine. I think that's the only fleet that does.

Canabus taxis out on only the right engine

Tell them the longer they stay on the flight deck the slower you are going to taxi.

Oh yeah! It's only been coming up on 10 years since I flew it!
