Ya, that's pretty bad, but when you don't commute and don't non-rev, it's likely not at top of mind because it's not something you deal with. I think for many, it's not that they don't care, it's just that it's not something they think about as often as those who live the commute/non-rev life. I've had gate agents open the door when I saw a JSer run up to the window because I truly want to get people on. But I freely admit that at 15-20 prior, it's often not at the top of my mind. If I remember, I certainly make the walk and I'm actively trying to incorporate the walk into my routine.

I can understand it not being top of mind for a non commuter…..but when the jumpseater mentions other pilots trying to get somewhere I’d think at that point it would become top of mind instead of an ignorant shoulder shrug.

Which fleet? PM if you like.

lol you can’t figure that one out? Here’s a hint: it’s the same fleet that rarely has an apu running.

FOs can also make the walk, right?

I mean they're not leaving without you so....

Anyone can make the walk. However, FOs usually don't take the initiative to do so.

How would the gate agent respond to an FO saying "put them on or else" because the captain will probably need to enforce that.

FO tells gate agent, "The Captain sent me out here to see if you got all the non-revs and jumpseaters on, because he said we're not leaving without them unless every seat is filled, including all FA and cockpit jumpseats."

Is that so hard?

FOs still outrank gate agents last time I checked.
