....As others have said, if we really started to put the beacon on when aircraft movement was imminent, ACS/Flt Ops would get a tremendous shock as their precious on-time stats went to hell.
But those are exactly the stats they need, and it's what they're asking us for. Until we do that, we are only masking the real problems in the operation. Fixing them is up to mgmt. If they start coming after us, which I'd be very surprised to see, then we'd need to take things as they go from there.
