Exactly. Who is getting calls about a delay for passenger/non-rev/jump seat issues? No one. Even if they were calling, yep - we delayed due to issues getting a jump seater on. End of call. Geez.

The ATL CPO was actually calling captains maybe 6 months to a year ago for holding flights for REVENUE pax. I think it has stopped recently though.

If any captain on the 73N needs a handy excuse to delay a flight (for a JS or whatever) just call maintenance for the inop FO map light. 1/2 of those things are burned out.

Is that so hard? FOs still outrank gate agents last time I checked. |

Our uppper management in flight operations would disagree in totality with this statement. Captains are very much at the forefront and are indeed, "front line leaders", in all aspects of the operation..

Look, I know things get real busy just before pushback, so I always talked to the gate agents before I got on the jet, and I would ask them at that time, "Are we going to be full?" And, "Are the non-revs going to get on?" And, "We got any jumpseaters?" If it looked like we were going to be full I would ask them to please get everyone on and if there's going to be a delay, "Put it on me." Never had a problem with my FO leaving to go check, last minute, either. Some of you guys make it a lot harder than it has to be! |
