Working The gate..........500 PVD-EWR......It's 25 minutes in the
air....during school vacation oversold.........30 pax going on
cruises.......20 pax with kids going to Disney......10 pax going to St
Martin and only 1 flight out of EWR ......All the flights are
oversold..........Pilot holds up flight because the plastic seal is

missing
on his fire extinguisher. It appears full.....the first officer's
extinguisher is fine....local mechanic says it's ok.....general

maintenance
says it's ok.....he continues to have a hissy fit.....40 minute

delay......
Question was he being a d__k Head or not?

Forget the FAA ramp check against the crew, Would you prefer a
Valuejet situation were the whole airline gets shut down because the
F/O's extingusher has not got enough retardant to put out the fire and
the Capt's ext has been previously discharged? Those needles don't
move except durring recharging, they freeze in position all the time.
There's nothing worse than fire in flight.
