The action of boarding an aircraft ( System wise) by allowing passengers through boarding scanners and subsequently, placing them on the Jet Bridge / Jetty, without actually letting them on board.
American Airlines TEAM Dusseldorf solution to uncooperative Crew Members.
The Crew is not yet ready, lets Jet bridge!
CREW : You are not allowed to start boarding yet
Answer: We are not Boarding, we are Jet Bridging.
Jet-bridging or Jet bridging, is the action of boarding a Long Haul Aircraft and keeping the passengers at the Jet bridge for a while until the Purser and Captain are ready for " real boarding".
This a rather inventive act, created by some Airline Supervisors in Dusseldorf international airport and it consists on starting the boarding process before the crew has given the âokâ for boarding.
The jet bridge is therefore used as a holding point to hold all Passengers and start the long boarding of 300 Passengers in the system.
With this method, the flights can be closed on time and station performance and on time performance increases exponentially.
Some interesting data:
B767 -209 Passengers
Record Time between commencing of the boarding process and flight closed / off blocks - 15min.
Captain: I guess we are running late today. What can be done to expedite the boarding process.
AA Supervisor: Letâs do some Jetbridging / Jet bridging
____
Station ISC: one more day on time and we have the best on time performance in Europe.
Supervisor: Lets Jet bridge it!
An airliner terminology, particularly used by mobbed or disrespected check-in agents, by some retarded passengers.
When the situation escalates to this point, the agent has no other choice but to redirect the passengers luggage to Easter island or some remote airport with two flights a month.
This has been used in several European airports after repeated assault and aggressive behavior towards professional airline staff.
