I use to work for an airline which allowed the Capt.to delay a flight up to 10 mins during the turnround.
There has been a report that said that paxs should eat and drink non alcoholic beverages for there health especially early morning departures.
Paxs are told to drink plenty of water on flights so as we are on the same flight plus we are active so we sweat (a little) we also need time to drink.
I learnt to eat quickly, a hot meal in 10 mins. I remember one Christmas at my parents, the whole family there. A plate of turkey, sprouts, etc was placed infront of me. As I cleared my plate I looked up, to find everyone looking at me. They had not even started yet!!!! Wot manners?
