At the risk of pointing to the elephant in the kitchen here, its the TURNAROUND time that is the big issue here.
Pressure pressure pressure.
I was a dispatcher for my sins many moons ago when it was a real tizzy to get an Eazy turned in 20 minutes and they suddenly wanted to see if they could do it in FIFTEEN.
Stupid. Bloody stupid. I didn't have to tell them so as they sent a top bod to watch me do one - it was a half-load (about 45 actually so not even that for a 73-200) and I did it in 20 minutes, explaining everything to the observer as I did so. She could see what was involved, listened to the R/T, watched me fill out a manual load sheet (the CODECO system often went down...sigh), count the bags and tally up the stickers on the card etc etc etc.
I cant remember if they ever DID reduce the turnaround times.....
