Scenario Drills
| Scenario | Expected response |
|---|---|
| Dirty luggage area before an airport pickup | Stop the departure clock, correct the condition if possible, notify dispatch if readiness or timing is at risk, and never expose the guest to unrelated trash or property. |
| Flight lands 35 minutes early | Update the plan using official flight status, remain within airport staging rules, and be prepared for a carry-on-only guest without creating an unauthorized pickup point. |
| Guest asks for a route you believe is slower | Confirm the request, follow it when lawful and reasonably safe, and avoid arguing. Explain only if a closure or restriction makes it impractical. |
| Prom guest produces alcohol | Do not permit the conduct. Use a safe stop if needed, notify dispatch and the authorized adult, and follow the minor-safety escalation procedure. |
| Service dog has no vest | A vest is not required. Use only the permitted questions when the need is not obvious and provide nondiscriminatory service. |
| Dispatch message arrives in moving traffic | Do not read it manually. Continue safely and park at the first appropriate location before interacting. |
| Guest leaves a phone | Secure and log it, notify dispatch, and use the official return process without browsing content. |
| Affiliate guest requests your private number | Use the approved partner contact path and do not solicit or redirect the account. |
| Vehicle warning light appears | Evaluate immediate safety, move to a safe location when necessary, notify dispatch, and do not continue unless the responsible operator clears the condition. |
| Minor collision with no obvious injury | Stop, assess safety and legal reporting requirements, notify authorities when required or appropriate, contact dispatch, exchange required information, document facts, and follow the incident process. |
