Like I said in a previous post on a different topic, and again just my 2 cents, I think we should be more concerned as a GROUP of pilots about our time AFTER we block in. More Days off to rest/recover from time changes, circadian rhythm disruptions, being in a pressurized tube for countless hours bouncing around. At my last job I had to drive myself 40 mins to the airport, park, get a bus to the terminal, deal with immigration, security and the long line to get a coffee (whoops, not allowed here). I need more than 2 days off after a ULR before a rest day and a night turn.
We all know being on the bus 5 mins earlier isn't going to accomplish anything, so do your job as per the OMA and if you're late, you're late... "sorry, had to drop off laundry and there was a line" "I had to check in at 2 different kiosks" "I had to walk across to the opposite side to drop off my bag because only one belt was working" "I got lost" "I was flirting with the barista at costa, but NO SIR, I didn't order a coffee"
Keep discovering.
