Budapest evidently. We can all do this and my argument is this for us, without regard to what happened here, no heads down during taxi.
You can't beat it!
Old can be improved and while it'll never have the benefits of a clean sheet, it will have what clean sheets don't have, resources. Resources that come from history such as huge fleets, access to limited airports, credit histories and Carls. Sure there are some legacies that aren't so good but heck people will put more into lcc then virgin if lcc got new management or was split.

This is a real problem. Gate agent are now to have the numbers in the computer at D-7... So they get a delay if this is not done. I asked several ACS in ATL about this and they said yep they cannot reopen a flight after D-7 w/o getting a delay. So if they said they will not add people after have closed the flight. Even with 6mins left. Seems counterintuitive to me.
So what's the point of being able to block out 5mins early with people still at the gate?
This last trip I got most of WDRs 5-6min b4 sched dept. Who knows how many tight conx ( that could have used 5mins more) we left behind.

I can't find it in writing that you cannot do the performance check while at the get if AWABS comes early. In fact, I thought the training video showed that as an option.
Just because some LCA says something, doesn't make it policy. They have to be able to back that up in writing. Does anyone know where it might be stated in writing?

From the DC-9 FCB 10-03, page 6: "Performance data loading may be accomplished at the gate, if the WDR is available; however, the Performance Checklist may not be completed until after the PUSHBACK/START and AFTER START checklists are complete. At no time should performance data loading conflict with other critical duties such as pushback (two pilot crew) or taxi."
