If he's got the goods he can answer the questions asked. If he's starts dancing around he'll start developing his own TOTD rating.
This is warming up, either he's got more facts and evidence or a troll has been quickly identified. Up to now the jury, IMO, is still out.

I'll admit to the above that lots of pilots are a-holes...
However, I'll nominate you as tool of the day for your FIRST post on a site you lurk on to be to discredit a pilot. I don't know whether the accused is guilty or innocent, but I think it is certainly a d!ck move to show up on a site and blast a guy. Thanks for contributing to our group in a "meaningful and appropriate way".
You will not see me jumping at the chance to post a thread on a dentist forum if I had a dentist as like a drunk clown on my flight...
It sounds like the pilot in question may have been a tool... But the guy not in the profession that immediately posts on our board without any evidence whatsoever is a much bigger one.

I never said he was bashing pilots, I said he was bashing one pilot. Forgive me for being the sole person that stands up for us here. It's called "Due process", and it's part of the constitution, and it's something that I believe strongly in.
And for the record, I didn't call him a "liar", I said i was calling BS, as in not true, or at least not fully true.

TOTD: Anyone who uses their cellphone speakerphone with volume set to 11 in a hotel room. We can all hear your booty calls. We all really just want some peace and quiet. Hold the phone to your head or use earbuds -- like the olden days.

Hard to mistake for trash. You seem pretty torqued up about this. You know the guy?

Never worked retail, have you? Deposit envelopes contain the bank deposit slip, the credit card slips, checks, and CASH, that the register took in that day.
No, stealing makes him a tool. It's pretty obvious to anyone what a business's bank deposit envelope looks like.

For today the DL gate agents for closing the door 20 early. I ran after a flight and got there 15 prior and it was "too late." No weather issues, no GDP, no plane waiting for the gate, no viable issue to close 20 prior? It's one thing if the plane does indeed push back 15 early. But a little confusing to understand how the jetbridge can be hooked up to the airplane and no one going anywhere, and they are standing there and then the official out time is 7 prior. Listing a pilot and walking down the jetbridge wouldn't take that long, maybe a couple minutes at most. If they accepted to list/take me, they would have still pushed back 7 early. It's only a little frustrating because in the past I had a DL jumpseat and literally at the 15 minute mark a DL guy showed up and I lost the JS. No complaints there, I get that's JS priority allowed up to 15 prior for a DL guy.
I'm in the industry and know how it works. But this was a first for a 20 prior denial at 15. Oh well, better luck next time.
