6. If we're still at the gate and the FA is having problems with a passenger, then I'll go back to help handle it. For some reason the pax think they can give a bunch of crap to the FAs, but they shut up and comply when they see the guy with the blazer and hat walk up. Lots of Captains will just sit there on their happy asses and wait for the FAs and gate agents to take care of it. Pathetic, as far as I'm concerned.
I couldn't agree more.

Sitting the the right seat watching a weak CA is heartbreaking. I'm the type of pilot who does NOT want to create tension in the cockpit, so I keep quiet unless it's a safety issue.

But you're completely right.

I love the old... "FAs deal with the PAX, so we dont have to!"

No....Flight Attendants are there to keep everyone alive, when we screw up.
