Working on the ground side of things, please remember gate agents are constantly working against a clock and have more riding on getting that plane pushed back on-time than you guys. Nothing is worse than coming into work and getting pulled into the station managers office and receiving the 3rd-degree on why your plane didn't go out on-time. Those extra minutes are sometimes the difference between on-time and late. Your manual says 35 minutes, that's great, but we all know on a full flight 35 minutes is laughable. It's always the GA that gets in trouble if the plane leaves late. --Tracy Great post.
