Those style points are as useful as stockpiling 1600 sick trips at retirement. I used to sit towards the back but got tired of the seat-kicking toddlers and waiting too long to deplane. Now I sit a row or two ahead of the exits, about where other airlines that actually assign seats put non-revs and Jumpseaters when they can.

Exactly. How many days of one’s life will a pirate reclaim after 1000 commutes using this philosophy? I’m a row 5 guy myself. Gotta catch the first bus to the parking lot that the borg doesn’t pay for. FUPM

I sit in the back. Because it takes time to assemble my bags and I don’t want to block the aisle for those wanting off in a timely manner.

sat towards the back on a DH recently, I was trying to be polite. As I was deplaning, had a nonrev FA give be “the business” for not helping “clean the airplane”…… I really don’t understand why we are the way we are, but…. When I’m working a flight I pitch in…. When I’m riding the corporate shuttle crammed in the back because of an operational mishap, I’m not cleaning the aircraft. Yep, I’m that guy, I grab me bags and walk off…..

I'm so over this type of attitude. We are not there to babysit or help do the FAs job. I'll sit where I want.

Wait, what? You’re expected to clean the planes?

That’s the most insane thing I’ve heard today. Why would you do that? Don’t you have cleaners?

No we do not. The “crew” is the cleaners.

I don’t clean; not because I don’t want to help the FAs, but because they should hire actual cleaners.

Some things that would improve turn times:
cleaners, assigned seats, no more pax count napkins, utilize the electronic ability to transmit fuel and loads, electronic releases and acceptance, etc.

We don’t need to jump through hoops to get things done when there are alternatives in already place to make us more efficient and they just refuse to use them.

Yeah I am not cleaning either and I find it so strange that I can see the digital release on my iPad well before I see the paper one. Why don’t we just go digital already?
