I can see getting a couple months for something like that.
If you had a "Breaks Hot " ECAM would it allow you to relese the Parking Break as a matter of course of preforming the ECAM. Who is to say this can not be done after the aircraft is secured by the Tug with both pilots ready at the controls. For safety This may or may not happen before or after the number come back.
That said there is something else going on here. It is in everybodys intrest to have on time Departure.
