One of my previous employers were a bit keen on 'on time departure' as the bosses would get big bonuses for meeting targets.
An email was sent out with the line "if you are not cheating you are not trying"
The aim of the email was to encourage crews to release and then reset the parking break at the appointed off blocks time if you were not ready to push as releasing the break sent an ACARS message for your off blocks time. A very dangerous practice in my opinion which much to my surprise some of my colleges were happy to comply with.
