You just made no sense, but alright.
Most SWA stations don't have ramp control. My point was that when you have multiple gates pushing for the same spot and there is no queue along with inbound planes vying for some of those gates and waiting for them to push holding out and further clogging the works, it can turn into a fu[%ing mess in a hurry. Having someone there to play referee will definitely help the situation. In addition, they are adding a whole new concourse with buses going back and forth. What can possibly go wrong, right?
I don't rush anything and I honestly haven't flown with many people here who do, and really none in the last 5 or so years. That being said, I don't want to sit on a gate for 20 minutes while the mess gets sorted out on its own (not a figure I pulled out of my butt, I very recently had this scenario twice in one week). While I don't really care about the company's metrics, when my goals and their goals align, I am going to try to achieve them. I would personally rather spend another night at home instead of an extra 15 minutes waiting to push. Not sure how not wanting to sit at a gate with the jetbridge pulled back is rushing, but the APC way seems to be to jump all over anyone who isn't part of some made up amateur hour job action that nobody else seems to know about, so I guess maybe I am rushing? I don't know. You decide.
