Got someone up in the lav...

But I thought he was behind that desk "evaree daaay"

Errrr'day! :) Actually, I think he's almost retired now.

Walked up to me in line at the employee cafeteria, told me congrats on the upgrade, and disappeared. That… was… weird. Uplifting, but unexpected.

Yup.

SouthernJetters can check FOM Part 1, Page 7.1.6 as I can't cut-n-paste with assured impunity.

If we're told, we've got to stop when it's safe.

Not sure what the other side of the cockpit door has in their manual about notifying the captain if a passenger is out of their seat during taxi.

If I'm told, my hands are tied.

And if something happens and I said, "well that rule was idiotic so I didn't follow it" during a hearing, there's not much union representation can do for me.

@Derg

Thank you.

FYI, my manual does not give a specific directive to stop. It instead says the Captain must weigh the alternatives before determining if it is appropriate to stop.

Our FAs are to advise the flight deck if the passenger does not or cannot comply with their instructions to be seated immediately.
 
I was always under the impression, perhaps wrongly, that if the seatbelt sign is on and somebody is up and they wind up getting hurt, well sorry Charlie, you were in direct disobedience of a lighted sign or placard which I also thought was violation of FAR's? Sign is off, not so much and there might be some liability.

Well, it doesn't say we HAVE to stop, it says we SHOULD stop. That indicates compliance is expected, but deviations are permitted only where an operational requirement exists. (FOM Part 1, 2.4.1) Does A-0 or making your first commute flight count as an operational requirement?

Yeah, it's a quibble, but pendantics must be observed!

Stopping on an active runway with traffic on a 1 mile final likely not the intent of that section.

Sure within reason, durrrr. I'm not going to stop on 26L or probably even block a taxiway.

But they gotta set they asses down. And Polly McCallButton better be doing more than just calling me about a passenger dragging his garbage bag full of clothes out of the overhead!
 
Usually it's like this:

"What did you do when you instructed him to sit down"

"I didn't say anything"

"Ok, let me know what he says AFTER you tell him to sit down"



"Pots boiling over, man"

"Did you turn down the heat?"

"No."


That's why some of us are working on the terraforming on Mars and some of us are on "basic", watching slingshotting on the hand terminal on Earth.
 
There's also no far that says if you exceed 250 below 10, you have to pull the power back, but what are you going to do?

If no one is behind you, stop where you are. If you have any more than one plane behind you, the pax is already up while you're moving so that rule has been busted... Ask to taxi to a spot so the plane(s) behind you can get by and you pax can take that Chipotle fueled dump.

I ain't even looked at my FOM
