Oh my god, shocking, there delays or ealier departures. PATHETIC.
Go and tell the pax, refueller, handler, apron controller, airport planners etcetc. I want to be home on time, not my fault.
No..simply keep your EOBT up to date and you won't be the straw that breaks the camels back. The sectors have a flow rate which is safe and expeditious.If you decide you can depart any time before or after your EOBT and you are joined by a couple of others the sector can be severely overloaded with all that that entails.
