Actually, it is not being over sensationalised. There is overt pressure to have the aircraft ready for boarding at STD-25. We are expected to conduct our inter crew brief either en route to the aircraft or on board prior to the first flight of the day. If the aircraft departs late and the 3rd party handling agent determines that the crew were not ready on time, you will have to explain yourself. Now I am quite able to defend my actions but have no doubt, heavy commercial pressure is ever present. The rushed collation and digestion of the paperwork prior to flight IS a problem.
