If you fly an Airbus and you think that it is not in your job description then you need to hit the books.

If I need to clean the windows, I don't call someone out to do it, if I see an old lady in a wheelchair in the jetway, I push her ll the way to baggage claim if I have to. If I see that a bag has fallen off the belt loader, I pick it up and give it to the baggage handler. If a gate agent needs to work with a customer, I'll watch the door for her, if an FA needs help gate checking bags, I'll do it.
I did not have to hit the books to do the right thing, Brat.
Come on, guys... let's make this a really lengthy speculative thread about who the culprit is. I'll ad to the speculation: It was an American Airlines employee. He did it all on purpose... There....
Speculation?
As long as children who claim to be professionals keep acting up I'll keep sharing the stories. Thanks for the reminder.
Here's the latest from CLT via Tempe.
The 'holes are out to get me!
We pushed back from CLT B-3, started 1, got clearance from ramp to turn right and taxi to spot 2 at E-12 with no restrictions.
I was almost done with the turn and would have been lined up on a line straight west to spot 2, and, wouldn't you know that Flt. 1125, a 737 to IAH, was bearing down on us from the end gates.
I just "knew" they weren't going to give way so I stopped. My nose wheel was on the taxi line by then. I'm not going to sink to their level and play chicken with $100 million aircraft.
Sho' nuf at about B-11 to B-9 they crank a turn into the hard stand area and bee line it to spot 2. Yeah! Good for them! They got in front of us!
I got on the radio as they were screaming through the hard stand and asked what exactly our clearance was and what is it now. She mumbled, went silent, then said to taxi to spot 2. Of course there were many "comments" on ramp freq. about "Westie" and "can't handle it", etc.
F 'em...
What is the proper write-up path so this gets to the Feds?
WILCO Pi.
I refuse to be in the cover-up culture which cost a respected coach his job and penalized a university. If there is is a lesson to be learned, look at Penn St.
That's your problem, Pi, get your head out of the sand or some other dark place.
If I were part of a cover up culture I wouldn't have suggested filing an ASAP, would I? But if you feel it is more productive for your buddy to go running to the FAA (we know how fast they move) and whine a web board, then we will just have to disagree.
Pi, I've made myself perfectly clear how I feel about this subject. I've agreed with you on many subjects in the past and built some bridges between us.
This time, we are going to have to agree to disagree.
I thought we built some bridges too, but they burned when you questioned me about my motives abut the C18. Just like the above examples it's clear that like many of your west buddies (east too) you cannot separate the seniority fight from everything else. Things like the above happen at every airline. Of course there are childish people on both sides that will pull a stunt, but not everyone is out to get you guys. Especially non-pilots, because I believe 9 out of 10 of them are just sick of hearing about and having to deal with the fallout.
