That is what happens when you give 200 people no designated place to flight plan, 150 do it on the aircraft or before arriving, 50 do it in a bar or cafe or at the departure gate, it's just human nature that there will be variations on what is seen as 'a bad look'.
But, it is an accurate look. The tech crew do not have a flight planning area so they do what suits them, that is the way of modern Airlines.
