Im not quoting BA data... Im quoting CAA data.
As for the weather arguement, surely GO and EasyJet have the exact same weather in Scotland. A few days "snow" (come live in Arlanda for real "snow") does not cause a near 40% variance in punctuality.
And the EDI AMS flight does not fly via LTN.
Yet again Stelios blames BA for bad weather!
Think about a 20 min turn for a full flight...
1 min to get airstairs, etc ready
8 mins to get all the slf off the flight
= a passenger every 3 seconds!
4 mins to complete seatbelt security check
= a seat every 5 seconds for a crewmember, (Assuming 3 crewmembers - not assuming any crew also do boarding like FR!)
6 mins to get all those SLF on
= 2.4 seconds per passenger
1 min to close doors, etc before push back!
Is that possible? Maybe once in a while, but not on every turn!
Result 40% punctuality!
Edited for calculations!
