As the standard turnround allowance at Stansted is 25 minutes, whatever purpose is served by requiring all the pax to be there before the incoming aircraft is even on stand, and before any processing of them has even started ?
So the ones who are always early are there, the ones who are on time are there, the ones who are 10-15 mins late are there, and the ones who are pathologically late hopefully get there.
Nevertheless, the airline isn't run for the benefit of the employees, as some like to think, and you do need to consider the SLF who are actually doing the paying
Yes and so are the other 199 people waiting onboard who bothered to turn up when told, only to be waiting for some selfish SLF who needs a coffee before they can come on board. So I would say this is all about the majority of the pax as opposed to the very few, and nothing to do with the staff.
