A hypothetical: If you were traveling back to base on a confirmed ticket, but the flight got delayed and arrived to late for you to sign in for your next flight duty... what do you think would happen? That's right... You'd be called in to the office on your day off to have a "coffee" with your line manager. Hell... Throw in the fact that the delay was only two hours and you might even find yourself searching for another job!

It is a question of priority... If my job is more important than the meeting I will go after work, but if the meeting is more important than my job I will leave work earlier. It really is that simple! Yes, many times! It is a question of priority…

I'm Chinese, I do these kinds of things. What's the problem? Shawn7 and honey ... you must be on the passenger list. "all people are the same around the world". lol I think we know where you're from. Blind and ignorant, rude and throat clearing, Chinese tourist, no doubt about it. This is what it's about, totally blind to what is happening around them. You do not exist in the Chinese tourist eyes. It's just ME, ME, ME. Calling them animals is an insult to animals. But of course … I’m Chinese, I do these kinds of things. What’s the problem?

In most cases, ground staff open it after confirming with the flight attendant at that particular door whether it's safe to do so. Even if it were a door, he’s not the one who opens it.
