can we do that at the top of the jet bridge?
I cant stand being in the way just to shake hands then stand there for another 10 min waiting for the FAs to get off.
Especially when its 120° or 5° in the jet bridge. I have never seen OAL do this. They put the brake on and leave.

Oh I totally agree. I’m not what some would call a “people person”. If I were king for a day we would just walk off after the parking checklist like the AA guys do, and never have to see each other at all. I’m not a fan of the jetway secret handshake. I’m sure it was essential to do the pit crew airplane swap back when there were 10 minute turns. But with most of our turns pushing an hour, I’m 100% with you.

I have had oncoming guys yell "good jet?" up the jetway as I leave. If it wasn't, I would have (probably) told you.
As for the stupid post flight walkaround, I do them...quickly. I usually tell my flying partner to high tail it out of there.

This all day. I facilitate a touchless swap. The words "good" and "jet" never meet in my vocabulary. If you are waiting in the jetway, I will say hello and "all good, have a great day" as I walk past.

Or tell them that you are commuting. I’ve used that a couple times.

You walk down the terminal and UAL/DL/AA guys won’t give you the time of day if you nod or say hi….must have a rod shoved up their recrum in indoc.
Culture is what you make it…those at HDQ seem to think it’s still the 90’s with the arm wrestling competition, etc. Mgt killed that years ago but like to pretend it still exists. As long as you ignore anything coming from HDQ, this place is fine. Still tense due to lack of cba but it sounds like things are finally nearing the home stretch.
