Some of the most amusing stories we have at the airport are when an agent (or Manager) gets stuck on the flight the door closes. I have had it happened to me. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
You Coyne,... now I'd like to hear more about that.

When working the ramp in SLC (before the DL/WA merger) and we only had 5 flights a day, we were already for departure of the flight to ATL when one of the pax in coach couldn't get their seatbelt to work properly. I ran down to WA's mtc. department and got a new belt. Ran back up to the plane and before I walked thru the door, I told the gate agent to remember that I was on board and not to push back. Well, as I was hooking up the new belt, I felt the jerk of the plane being pushed back. I told the crew to tell the pushback crew to stop the plane and drop the rear stairs for me. I wasn't about to go to ATL that day!
BTW, in 33+ years, I was never pulled off.....been upgraded and downgraded to empty seats before but never pulled off.
