I still agree with this in practice but I think ALPA recently gave a clarification contrary to what I had posted. They basically said if everything else is in order you should be ready to depart in 3hrs. You are not responsible for everything else if you don’t push at three hours but if the guy is on the tug and the folks are boarded and you have a clean logbook we shouldn’t be waiting on you. I don’t agree with this and I don’t know if that’s official but I think it was recently in an email.
