Chasing Pax

Hi folks,

Have you as Captain or First Officer with an airline ever left the flight deck whilst parked at the gate before departure to go in search of a wayward passenger? Reason I ask is because some time ago on one of those TV airport documentaries they showed a Lufthansa A320 Captain leave the FD in search of a late pax...

Have you ever done this?

VFE.

If I had to leave the cockpit on the ground (never in flight) because of a passenger, it was to eject them from the airplane. By the time the story got to me through the gate agent or F/A...the story was already told.

The only time I didn't throw them off, I regretted it later.
