Get everything done and out on time and if the previous flight IS a a few minutes late it doesn’t cascade the rest of the day until the next lull. It not like planes and crews are always running full tilt. There usually is some point where plane and crew has several hours to sit. Just spread it out a bit. I realize some of the extended plane sits are for maintenance, but still. Yes, we don’t get paid during that time, but I would rather have an extra ten minutes and not be rushed taking a c**p, eating or just getting a coffee so I can get everything else done as well.
You guys don't understand, the less time on a gate, the more time the planes can be making money. That's why ole dougie is the CEO and we're a bunch of peons.
