Honest question: are you guys not required to make your departure time? Or be at the airplane at a certain time?
We have a specified show time, and we're at the airport at that time, or earlier. But there are lots of people you have to rely on in order to have everything come together for an on time departure. If the van is late, or the TSA slows you down, or the gate agent isn't there, or the plane isn't fueled, or the lav hasn't been dumped, or the passengers aren't boarded on time, or any number of other things, then we probably aren't going out on time.
In the end, if everybody does their job, things happen on time. If people don't do their jobs, then I can't drive the van, screen myself, let myself down to the plane, fuel the plane, dump the lav or board the passengers, and thus, we won't go out on time.
