I was at JBU. The guy who has come up with all of these new gimmicks came in one afternoon. No kidding this is what he said.

"You pilots, if you showed 15 min earlier it would really help out on time performance"
"We are going to start leaving people at the gate"
"We made an investment in more block time"
"I used to be in finance"
"I know the operation well, I did a PIT turn a couple weeks ago"
"We have a few pilots we bounce ideas off of"

These are just a few gems I remember. Needless to say the meeting didn't go the way he may have imagined. He was pulled from the room after 20 min. Never wrote one thing down and "WE" were told if "WE" have any other questions to just email him. HA!
