Not my experience. Heard the story. Pilot on Ozark deadheading. He comes running down. Jetway pulled back a couple of feet. Captain yells “jump”. He jumps the gap with his bag. Makes it.
Sure the CA and the deadheading pilot are long retired. Ozark was bought out. Safe to talk about.

Quitting frontier is my favorite WTF story. But another favorite is DHing with the FAs that got T boned in the hotel van in Cincinnati. A couple of them were in the hospital for a night or two and when we got back to Denver there was no one from the company to welcome them home or help them. One was in a wheelchair and one was using crutches. Apparently frontier fought them tooth and nail on injury claims. Classy place, f9!

Hey why don’t you share the story about the newly trashed 757 with the buckled airframe by the nose gear. If your going to get on the WTF thread that would be a good start.

We strap in with 5 point harnesses, bring the plane to a stop if someone is up out of their seats during taxi, ding the seatbelt sign every time there's turbulence, but you'll climb aboard a POS hotel van, with bald tires, and Dingus McDips!t behind the wheel doing 60mph on a wet clover leaf offramp, and nobody buckles up.
