You had better get there early if you want to get on!

On the other end of the spectrum I flew with someone that ran two engines on the ground for an hour and thirty minutes even after 4 reroutes and a corridor closure. 2 hours in it necessitated a needless return to gate. Efficient flying techniques are just fine with me when we're sweating the fuel. But then again, I'm on a first name basis with an NTSB board member so I'm confident my version of the ensuing emergency is going to be well received.

LOL that would mean they would actually have to PAY more for having an on time operation. That ain't gonna happen, they would rather push everybody twice as hard to try to work with these unrealistic turn times and under blocked flights.
