That's why you block out 5-10 minutes early and arrive on time. Thus making 5+ minutes every leg. Multiply that by a 22 leg 4 day and that gives you an extra 1:50+ per trip, times 4 trips per month equals an extra 7:20, times 12 months per year equals an extra 88+ hours at whatever your pay rate is. Now I don’t know about you but that’s almost an extra 5K per year at my CA rate.
And you never screwed a passenger because you’re on time or the company seeing they got their on time departure bonus. The way I see it, you’re getting what’s rightfully yours. If you’re late then do all you can for you PAX.
