Seriously, did you witness a couple pilots catching up with each other knowing something you don’t know, like they’ve been informed that there is a delay of some sort and there is literally nothing they can do about it. Getting in their seats will not change the outcome of them going over their day.accountant wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 2:34 pm
I've seen it personally 5 times in 2 years. 3 times on WS, 2 times on AC. Never on Porter or Flair. Haven't flown Lynx so I can't speak to them.
Just like you say my opinion doesn't matter since I'm not a "pilot", your opinion doesn't matter on this either since you're part of the group causing the issue, not the group impacted by it. Sure you've never seen it... doesn't support your narrative as a pilot.
Let me tell you a story, I had a very long two leg day scheduled, but the final destination posted a 3 hour ground delay which if everything went well we could do it. We were in our seats waiting for the ground crew who was busy on another flight since we were delayed obviously our dedicated crew was doing something else, anyhow a crew finally shows up and loads us up. They hand us the bag count and we tell them we’re clear for the door, which means close the door and pull the bridge. I’m watching and my crew drives away, bridge still connected. I called ops and said our crew just left and we basically have a minute and we’re not legal. No crew showed and since this was the last US bound flight, customs had closed with no ability to get a replacement crew through to operate, so canceled.
Had we been made aware of a ramp crew delay before we even sat down, would have likely gone back up for a coffee or chatted at the door and guess what, the outcome would have been the same.
Now before you go blaming the ramp crew, they were under specific company directives not to go over their day, no OT allowed, so they ran out of day themselves and had to go.
I can unequivocally state, I have never ever heard of or seen a crew intentionally delay their flight to end up not able to complete it, we are mission oriented and It is far more likely they knew something that was going affect the flight regardless of what they did.
Also, it is very clear now what your motivation is, a disgruntled passenger who doesn’t have all the facts.
Thank you keeping your crew & passengers safe
Pilots in this country are seriously under paid & under appreciated
You’re saying “my bad” to a post from the other accountant.
You’re slipping. Troll better or be gone.
