Reality gave us a choice: "on time and pay the crew a couple bucks" ~OR~ "late, waiting on ramp congestion." It selected "save a couple of bucks and on time."
All that was accomplished was to remove the effect of one department entering in "late completion of checklists" and another department having to answer "no we weren't." Now management meetings have been shortened by 3 minutes on average and the survey says the coffee tastes better.
I really don't care, if they pay me to read the checklist while balancing a Biscoff on my nose and clapping ... OK. They own the jet.
