in the corporate world you'll be doin that with some rich prick screaming in your ear
You won't understand until you miss a commute.
I
do get paid when we're number 27 of 60 for takeoff in PHL, and as long as ACARS registers a push time its all good. That said, at my airline when we know there is a three hour ground stop or EDCT program we typically don't board up and go sit somewhere just so we can "cha-ching". Better for 50 people to be in a terminal full of amenities than crammed in a pressurized metal tube, wouldn't you say?
And for what it is worth, you have obviously
never flown corporate.
