Ah, that makes sense. I’ve been feeling a bit lazy to click all those links and sign in to read a base newsletter in a while.

You have every right to change your schedule, just like everyone else. Don’t feel bad. They get a great deal, regularly, because you are using their trip to train our pilots. If you see something that makes your life better, whether it’s a better trip or something that allows you to be home to be present for a family function, do it and don’t think twice about it.

The sentiment is very nice though. And it came across correctly the first time too.

YMMV, but at the end of a trip I'm bailing early to maintain the integrity of my home life operation. If something happens they will figure it out just like if I had a tight turn.

And by the transitive property, boarding should not commence until the pilots are on board. But that doesn't always happen.

Ah, emails.

Speaking of, remember the one from ca 2017 that asked us to go back to the cockpit door before tearing down our nests so that we could say goodbye to the FC pax?

If that were enforced, there would be 90% fewer plane changes. The main reason for plane changes is the philosophy that FA's can board at normal boarding time and pilots can show up later and push the FLY button.

When’s the next one? Haven’t been on this site for a while, come on here and all the same merrymen that are always going back and forth are talking about where pilots are supposed to be during boarding and deplaning. 😂😂😂 Must be a slow month on the forums.

So when’s the next AE?
