4. Or how about the 'home' airline who schedule all their morning departures to depart in a one hour window, then have the temerity to bitch and moan if they get delayed? They actually timetable 4 or 5 departures to go at the same time at various times of the morning, then can't understand why they pick up delays.
And it's all lost on the commercial department
5. Or my particular favorite, when there are significant start up delays for whatever reason (ground congestion, flow restrictions for LVOs etc), the pilot calls ready and gets put in a queue to be advised of a significant delay then asks every 5 minutes for their number in the queue.
Which with everyone I've flown with hears the same inquiry 2 minutes after you've given them their queue number...illicits the same response, T W A T, seems very prevalent with certain nationalities, and the Germans
