Narrative

THE STATION AGENTS AT SGF HAD ASKED US TO DO A QUICK TURN. WHILE BOARDING; #2 ENG WAS STARTED. WITH THE PAX ON BOARD AND THE PAPERWORK AND SECURITY CHK COMPLETE; I TRIED TO GET THE RAMPER'S ATTN TO START #1 ENG. THEY CONTINUED TO HAVE THEIR CONVERSATION OUT AT THE L WINGTIP. WHILE IGNORING MY SIGNALS FOR AT LEAST 5 MINS; FINALLY ONE OF THEM CLRED ME. WHILE THE RAMPER MOVED FROM THE L WINGTIP TOWARD THE NOSE; I SIGNALED HIM TO REMOVE THE CHOCKS AND CONTINUED WITH THE AFTER START FLOWS AND CHKS. EVERYTHING IN THE COCKPIT WAS COMPLETED IN A NORMAL AND TIMELY FASHION. I THEN SPENT ANOTHER FIVE OR MORE MINUTES TRYING TO GET THE RAMPER TO MARSHALL US OUT. HE STOOD ABOUT 75 FT IN FRONT OF THE NOSE; ANGLED SO HIS BACK WAS TOWARD US. I FLASHED TAXI AND LNDG LIGHTS AT HIM; BUT HE CONTINUED TO IGNORE US. BY THIS TIME WE HAD ONLY ENOUGH FUEL TO TAXI AND MEET OUR RELEASE FUEL AT TKOF AFTER SITTING FOR 15 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINES RUNNING. I USED THE MIRRORED WALL OF THE TERMINAL TO INSURE NO GND EQUIP WAS IN THE WAY AND TAXIIED OUT. WHILE TAXIING TOWARD THE RWY; THE STATION CALLED AND SAID WE HAD JUMPED THE CHOCKS; AND THE RAMPER HAD BEEN IGNORING US BECAUSE WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO LEAVE FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES. THE PULLOUT FROM THE GATE WAS NORMAL IN ALL ASPECTS. UPON ARR IN DFW I MADE A LOG ENTRY. MAINT INSPECTED THE NOSE GEAR WITH NO DISCREPENCIES FOUND. THE STATION USE OF THE TERM 'JUMP THE CHOCKS' WAS LITERAL RATHER THAN ACTUAL. THE RAMPER NEVER TURNED TOWARD US UNTIL AFTER WE LEFT THE GATE. THE CHOCKS WERE NOT TIGHT ON THE NOSE GEAR TO BEGIN WITH. I HAD BEEN MOVING THE TILLER WHILE FLASHING THE TAXI LIGHT; FURTHER LOOSENING THE CHOCKS. SO IF HE HAD NOT REMOVED THE CHOCKS WHEN SIGNALED TO; THEN WE TAXIIED OUT THE R SIDE OF THEM. IN RETROSPECT THERE WAS A TOTAL BREAKDOWN OF COM AT THE STATION. THE AGENTS NEVER INFORMED THE RAMPERS OF THE QUICK TURN. NEXT TIME I'LL JUST SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN UNTIL THE STATION GETS IT STRAIGHTENED OUT.
