Pilot double-duties as ticket agent at OGG
Funny thing seen before last night's OGG-SJC flight...
One of the gate agents stepped away from the desk, where a long line had already congregated, and the pilot for our flight stepped up to check in pax. Looks like he was helping out in getting pax rebooked from the cancelled OGG-ORD flight.
We boarded the plane as he was getting on, and mentioned it to him. He chuckled something to the effect of he was earning his stripes, but actually mentioned that he was explaining the flight delays to the pax in line as he was checking them in. In any case, we thought it was a nice gesture.
