As much as I hate Mexico City, they always have an army waiting. It's impressive, don't think I've ever waited more than 30 seconds from parking break to ground power. EWR could learn a thing or two. Pretty sure the pay disparity is leveled by the shear number of people standing there waiting for you.
Meanwhile in EWR, you'll sit there for 5 minutes waiting for the two guys to come out, get off their phones, pick up some chocks, mosey over to their spots, etc. All the while a 737 with the APU on and a motor shut down is burning 1000 #/hr.
