Apparently, he was told by management that he didn't know his role as a captain whilst the doors were open. This can't be true?!? Sounds like he was just doing his job as a captain because ground staff didn't do theirs.
If true, who would want to work under such conditions when management won't back a Captain for looking after the crew and remaining pax on a flight.
Surely this can't be true?
Its not the captains job to do this. Its the ground staff.
As always you need to know what ypu can and cannot do....
Much like the walkaround i dare say.
