Things don't often go as planned and taxi times and wheels up times throw a wrench in to this whole on time plan, but hey somebody's gotta pay for that extra 10 to 20 minutes.
This is just one more provision, that needs to be addressed in the contract. In previous contracts at other carriers, we wrote in a provision for crew meals, if we had last than xx minutes (45 iirc) on a turn.
