How’s the waiting for the FAs to “buzz” before push going? I’ve seen 3 distinct behaviors when they don’t/forget to call. 1. We’re gonna sit here all night until they call. 2. Call for push, I don’t care what’s going on back there. 3. Call them and see if they’re ready. I’d say number 1 is the most prevalent, followed by 2.

I pull gear on the 190 in kennedy and rarely have lanyardless captains, and even more rarely do I have a captain do a standup. I’d put it at 10% maybe. I see WAY more lanyardless pilots and standups operating and riding on my 320 commute. You guys saying this 190 crap are out of your mind and delusional. Unless I just coincidentally happen to fly with an abnormally high percentage of lanyard wearers and commute on a disproportionately high number of lanyardless pilots flights, as well as abnormal interaction swapping planes, in the crew room, terminal, and when they nonrev and say hi on flights I’m operating. I bet Ford Harrison has the true breakdown and I’m guessing it’s irrelevant to equipment.

Ya Boston 190 captains are higher. My commute to bos on the bus is mostly all day trippers so most do stand ups and half are lanyardless. (Captains, no the fo normally)

I can say 100% of the stand ups drop the brake before we are cleared to push. Which of course I have a problem with. Just speak up about not being SOP and things will change. Also I’ve witnessed on my last 2 trips captains going back to Mint and greeting each pax personally. Anyone else seeing this? Just can’t believe after this summer and profit sharing being cut there’s people out there that think they’re gonna get something in return for going above and beyond

4- Well, they're in the middle of their safety demo. Sure would hate to call them and interrupt....
