I know this thread is reserved for the "Delta pilot haters" and believe me, there are some guys that make it easy to hate us, but this is a requirement for us and even if we miss the salute because we are busy doing something else, making someone come out to visually clear us is better than killing someone.

If Delta SOP is to require the ramper to stand at attention and SALUTE the captain, then I nominate Delta as TOTD.

Some guys will actually salute to which I usually acknowledge with a wave.

Guideman — Provide salute, indicating the area is clear.
After Start:
After ground equipment is clear, the captain has announced “I
have a salute”, and engine(s) are stabilized.

The standard is to salute, and it's rare to see anyone do anything other than that. That's it.
