Leaving people behind is one of my major pet peeves. These days (full flights) it can have a domino effect. If you have a cooperative gate agent and Captain you can make it happen.
Recently I had a fairly long flight and there were 12 pax that were connecting to ours. Their aircraft (DAL mainline) had landed and the jet was at the gate deplaning. Ramp was telling our agent to close the door and push. The pax would get to their destination the next day (18 hours later).
We worked together, waited for the pax, and got everybody to their destination on time. So to me it was a win-win. I'll take a hit in D-0 when we get there on time (more important statistic in my book) and take care of our customers.
You know them. They're the ones that pay our salary.
Merry Christmas Everybody!

I really wish we'd go to a system that makes the "departure time" be the time that the gate/jetway door closes, NOT when we are turning on the beacon and closing the MCD.
It would alleviate the problem of how "early" the agent closes up. The door from the terminal shuts at the departure time. Easier for the customer to understand.

But, you have Dwight's and mine's vain confused for why we "got the boot". It was due to that da#% Blue Vane. For a free drink in The Godfather, name the book.
Ok, too obscure. Read this back in my cop days. Book good, movie very bad (and not in a good way).

We're all in big trouble when a failed greenskeeper has to correct grammar.

You know us Southie only use checklists as a "guide"for the operation! We hate to get tied down by published procedures. Just doing it the way (Capt's way) we've always done it. If that coincides with the actual procedure, then muy bueno! TIC

OK, this has been about 4 posts now and I can't stand it. What is sticking out of Ferd's neck is a VEIN not a VAIN. Now some might think that Ferd is VAIN because of the women that surround him, or the way NewK poses after showers, but VAIN's don't stick out of your neck.

Funniest thing I've heard about fNWA guys was that when they first started putting wool seats in the cockpit standards was having a hard time keeping the pilots from facing the wrong way.
I've also heard that DELTA was an acronym for:
Do Everything Like Those Aholes.
Personally, don't really mind the fDAL vs. fNWA back-and-forths, takes a little pressure off the Dal New York Crews for once.
Why do you think DALN is associated with fNWA?
