HQ Bus Departure (STD-75)
So let me get this straight...
We use to depart HQ's at STD-70 and now it's STD-75. It was supposed to be a temporary thing to aid with the runway closures. Now it's been implemented as SOP.
So it essentially gives us 5 mins to finish up our briefings... gather our belongings and transport all of the crew to a bus. Seems to me a bit tight, especially if people are going to be sitting there with clipboards, stop watches and monitoring every second of every move. The 10 mins use to be manageable and if we left a bit early great. But this sprint from briefing room to bus is going a bit overboard. I've literally seen crew running to the bus. WTF?
Pursers are more concerned with this bus departure timing then they are with briefings (more specifically ours) and theirs.
I'm all about having guidelines and a time frame to work within but you can only squeeze so much out of us.
Is it just me or is something wrong with this picture?
