Wow. They don't get any closer than that!
This is a huge airline management failure imho. For years decisions made by senior managers have loaded up the crews to the point where less than an hour will not cut it.
It starts with too many block hours and skimping on good quiet hotels and ends with security hassling people and delaying the crew from arriving on time at the aircraft. You need a full hour at the gate to cope with the unexpected distraction; a full hour to cope with the unexpected loading FUBAR. Most of the time you won't use that extra time. Read a magazine or take a quick combat nap and hope inept, toady managers won't see you doing it.
Then, on the departure that turns into mayhem, instead of dealing with headaches right up until brake release, the capt has a few extra minutes before pushback to double check the killer items ZFW, flex pwr, fuel ticket (remaining plus added), flap & trim setting, runway length.... do they make sense?
Again, just like the disappearance of manual line flying, basic airmanship has evaporated off the syllabus of the Brave New Button-pusher of tomorrow. Just "suck-it-up" they used to tell me. "This is the real world."
Well, the real world sucks.
Recall that pilots used to be blamed and fired for busting altitudes. Then ALPA, in concert with industry, developed the altitude alerter which is now a part of every flight. Altitude busts are much rarer today.
Since government and business seem only interested in reacting to events and interested only in finding a scapegoat to fry, may I suggest a worldwide SOS (suspension of service) until we can bypass security and arrive at the airplane on time.
You need to strengthen your unions gentlemen.
