Also if you fly into Omaha on United, you could see me if I get the job. I had a phone interview a few days ago.

    Wonder how you (and unfortunately many others) can call something dumb without even trying to understand the reason behind it. Just cause you don't get it doesn't mean it's dumb. Inconvenient / unusual in your experience? Maybe. But definitely not dumb. I would expect more curiosity and research from somebody supposedly passionate about this industry. Anyway, this is usually done when the crew isn't yet ready to accept passengers on board, but delaying boarding until they are ready would cause the flight to be late. So basically the time consuming processes of scanning boarding passes / verifying passports / conducting US CBP interviews (if that is being done at the gate) are being done while waiting for the crew to be ready, and when they give the green light for boarding, the only thing left to do is to let passengers on board. This gives plenty of time for the ground crew to unload any bags of no-show passengers and to correctly fill in the information on the load sheet, and generally ensures that the flight can depart on time, meaning that connecting passengers catch their connection and that the return flight has more chances to leave on time. So yeah, it's a widely-used efficient measure to increase on-time performance where / when needed, not something dumb.

  • @QFSAviation

    Жыл бұрын

    Me calling it dumb is an opinion, something everyone’s entitled to. I still think it’s dumb even if the reason is for the crew not being ready. Why would they start boarding until they’re ready? Holding off on boarding would give passengers more time to grab a coffee and relax before all being herded into a secure area

  • @sternreport

    @sternreport

    Жыл бұрын

    I don't believe these holding bays make a noticeable difference, as everyone is still standing in the gangway while people start blocking the way in the plane to put their luggage away. The scanning and blocking people in is probably only handy to close boarding sooner and label people as late sooner. Still it's a dumb or better annoying design choice.
