Track me down if you get any PSP layovers. |
LOL Have I got a story for you. While on a LAS turn going back to PSP, we had a SKYW jumpseater. The gate agent refuses to let him on. I happend to go upstairs and hit up the bathroom. The jumpseater happens to catch me and says hey they wont let me on. I ask why, he says theyre weight restricted. I approach the gate agent and he says he has bags and people that need to get on first. After all the people and bags get on, I still have a 3 seats and weight to spare. I tell the agent to let him on. He comes back in 5 minutes and says we have a flight inbound from XYZ and there is 3 people and their bags that we're gonna try and get on. I ask him where the plane is? He says it is landing in 10 minutes.
After only one person shows up he still refuses to let the jumpseater on, at which point, I tell him you either get this guy on the plane or we're not leaving. Jumpseater got on.
Congrats Dale.
