How bad is it right now?
#41
I was in the school house last week and heard that there was something coming down the pipeline on this. Seems that they want to redefine the way we are paid so we can block out after receiving push clearance without shorting our pay. Let’s them look good for Daddy D by reducing latency...
Metric Schmetric.
The only metric I care about lately is helping FOs consolidate.

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.

Well then all the Airbus 220 guys should have a blast too soon. Enjoy those 4+ hour fire breaks that the 717 and many of the A320 guys already get... even the 737 sees too much of that junk for a mainline. 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.
