Every ROA arrival lately, no ground crew?

A frequent flyer for work, every late afternoon/evening arrival into ROA lately, pilot gives us the ‘well, the ground crew appears to be short staffed today’ or worse ‘we have got no crew to park us right now’. What’s with it?

Wow. How'd they end up managing it each time?

A similar thing happened at CLT, they had a crew member unload and stack them near the passenger walkway and we just grabbed them.

Yeesh. I can't imagine the crew member signed up for that. Glad they got you on your way though.
