There is no increase efficiency for the company that I can see. As pilots we like to tote that it is a mutual benefit but its not true. We have a show time of 45 min prior to departure, if that was lowered to 30 minutes
because we got KCM maybe it could be a benefit to the company but I still don't see how they make more money shaving 15 min off a show time rather than paying for KCM.
As it was said earlier comparing us to Virgin, this company chose to be profitable over passenger comfort and customer service. It also chose to be profitable over employee satisfaction.
Arrive 45 prior and Stop cutting the security line... There is no requirement to cut the line. That is a benefit afforded uniformed crew members. Nothing says you have to. Get your act together and you will get your KCM after the first day.
