WHUTEVUH!!

Metric Schmetric.

The only metric I care about lately is helping FOs consolidate.

No kidding....
And you really want to help latency? How about not having us wait 14 minutes for Takeoff Data while at the gate...

You're supposed to wait, you're just not supposed to get paid while you wait.

I could have sworn that you weren't required to wait for takeoff data before pushing back just everyone did it when I was there. At mainline we push when we're ready unless we get a specific message saying to wait for takeoff data because it could be close to a limit.

None of us should be seeing that if the planes are not sitting too. This is pure and simple taking line holders and scheduling them to be used as extra reserves.
I don't recall hearing much about all these 4+ hour breaks you're talking about, and it's not some major problem on the 737, at least not in trips out of my base.
