Hear hear Barking....
We are all too often our own worst enemies....
Fudging off chocks times,whilst appearing to help,will, in the end, never heal the problem, or expose the shortcomings..
Ever tighter schedules, serviced by an ever decreasing man/womanpower can only decrease flight safety in the long run.
One thing I have learned...when the rush starts...ask for another cup of coffee, take a deep breath,and, regroup your thoughts.
A crew that has been rushed towards an ontime departure is far less likely to cope with the unexpected..IMHO..
Ladies and gentlemen...RESIST!
