Several of frequent users of Seair were discussing with several Seair pilots how frustrated we are with the number of Thetis islanders that do not get to the float plane on time.
( as is actually required by your tickets).
Seair agreements state 30 minutes before flights , but in reality they expect everyone to be there at least 15/18 minutes before flights from small islands. At times they need to leave a bit early due to weather / wind concerns or other factors, such as multistep flights etc.
I am pretty appalled by how frequently people here are late for the flight, and keep the pilot and other passengers waiting.
Today 2 groups showed up about 5 minutes before to the parking lot. Making the pilot that was deliberately early and a large group wait for them.
I have had to wait for large groups showing up 10 minutes late for flights as well.
I am hoping we all could be more polite to each other and the Pilots.
Can someone pass this on to the 2 bible camps to remind their guests to be there at least 15 minutes before?
