OK my dispatcher says we have 1 less bag in the hold and will need to do a reconciliation, I question this ( we have 1 less not 1 too many) but was told - sorry company policy, I asked to speak to supervisor and told no. I did ask - so when you take all the bags out and find one missing do we all go home?
Bags removed - one missing - departed one hour late.
So beat your chest and point at your four stripes as much as you like but if your cargo doors are open you aren't going anywhere.
