It's the same conversation every single year. One year they actually cracked down, and enforced absolutely no dropping of the brake until you were ready to push, three weeks later we got a memo from JR, saying we would all need to find new jobs if we couldn't get out on time. Hilarious.

They are management company people at that point not pilots.
