Probably the best advice I got from a Captain was when I was a FO new to the 767. At pushback time we were in DFW and you could see passengers who were waving at us and pointing. The agent would not go back up and get them. When the captain asked him to do so he got mad and said “while the airplane is at the gate it’s MY airplane.” Captain said ok. Agent pulled the jetway away. Captain opened his window and said to the agent in the jetway “Now it’s my airplane and it’s not moving until you get them on board.” He said it just as calm as he could be. No yelling or anything like the agent had done.
The problem these days is an agent would just disappear and leave you sitting there hoping they put the pax on. I have told an agent to put passengers on.....only to have them close the entry door, pull back the jetway and refuse to come back. I employ a different strategy. Before I ask for passengers I step into the jetway. And no matter what they say I tell them I will not get back on the plane until the passengers are on. |

From an A350 about a month ago.... They can't do CAT II or III SEA until they get a certain number of practice CAT IIIs. I have no idea of the reasoning behind it.

That makes sense now, the context was about a divert to PDX when SEA was low vis. If I were running the show, I'd be sure to get those practice approaches or whatever we need stat. Kinda embarrassing to divert with our flagship when everyone else can get in.
That means you have to give up a sacred landing to FiFi. 😞 Portland has better microbrews anyway. |

Anyone know if PDs or APDs are processed first? For example if I submit both PD and APD requests for the same trip will it award the PD if it can and then move on to the APD if it can’t? Or will it just see the APD, stick it on there and call it good?
Thanks |
