"Hello, I'm Freddie...... Blind Freddie"
Yes Ken, Even Blind Freddy can see that the delay problem isn't the guys chucking the bags in the hold, the engineers kicking the tyres, the pilots and hosties doing their pre-flight checks or the ground staff loading the passengers !
Yes, the baggage handlers MAY be loading bags 5 minutes past scheduled departure time, but that's only because
you didn't give them enough staff.
Yes, there may be no tug at departure time, but that's because out of the three we have, two are unserviceable because
you cut maintenance on them.
Yes, the engineers may be late getting for the pushback, but that is because
you cut their numbers and one engineer cannot be in two places at once.
Yes, the aircraft may of waited for seven minutes for the ground staff to position the bridge and open the aircraft door, but that's because
you made their roster so that at certain times there are
three aircraft arrivals scheduled yet only
one member of the ground staff rostered on, see above re: not being able to be in two places at one time !
Do you want me to go on or are
you seeing a pattern here ?
