It is often the case that crews, who have a rather cushy time in the turnaround,
Pishpatcher, you are miles off the mark. We have a load of things to do to prepare for the next flight, 25 mins isn't very long to turn around an aircraft for us or for you. If we aren't all pulling the same direction then a late departure is inevitable. Remember that if we are running late we are probably liasing with you, ATC and company whilst doing the paperwork, getting the weather, doing the walkaround, briefing, security checks, checklists and (hopefully) a toilet break. Your job isn't easy, neither is ours - it does help if we are all pulling together.
