The operational numbers look terrible. I know that people from many departments are busting their humps trying to make this work. They might need to revisit these processes and soon. We are driving backwards it seems.

Why does everyone have such a hard on to drop the brake early and give them an on-time when they don't deserve it???

The cost isn't in pilot pay, since many trips are rigged anyway. The cost is in maintenance due to Mx intervals being based on block time. The number I heard thrown about was $7,000,000 per minute of block, annually.

It's not so much about on-time as it is getting on the clock. Frankly, when we put in our fit for duty, that should generate the time stamp for flight pay. Most of our work is done at the gate, and it's done for free.
