I was obviously talking to a Jobsworth. Not a major, busy terminal, all I had to do was go out of the nearby exit and walk across the apron to a 22 seat puddle jumper starting to board, not even a "security, shoes off" check. ( still isn't ) Doesn't Discretion and Responsibility and Customer Satisfaction mean anything ?
Unfortunately the exit door does have a bar-code scanner for the boarding pass, so I would have needed a valid one for that flight number, and "someone" would have had to ask the Captain to amend the loadsheet to add one more pax, but does that cost $50. ?
