I've never been in an airline which would function on scheudle if everyone worked to rule. That means do exactly what your are paid for and report at the times stipulated. Do all the tasks necessary during turnrounds and do not rush. Be methodical. If I understand rightly many airlines have gone to 45mins report, even when there is not dispatch service; i.e everything is do it yourself. I can not believe a flight, or series of flights can be prepared in full in 20 mins, travel to the a/c 5-10mins and prepare it for flight 15 mins. 1 hour was pushing it once they took away a flight prep service. Do guys really do it in 45mins? If you turn and sign on at -45mins I doubt many will depart on time. You would then have to have it in writing that you need to turn up early; or a discussion would be opened as to why your were always late on STD. Simple, 45mins is not enough. Strike is rarely needed to make a point. Doing what you are paid for does not need a union.
