It adds to the delays Krallu. If you turn up late and they decide to put you on. They will do the following:

1. Ammend the Load sheet and Manifest
2. Bump the Standby thats in your seat
3.Also off load that standby pax bags if checked
4. load your checked bag
5. Captain has to sight and check and sign the New Paper work after its printed.
6. F/O may have to call for start and push back again.

The list goes on, and doing all these things again cause delays. And at the end of the day, delays have to be explained and categorised in codes which determine the Company Performance. Which in turn determines the Cut Backs the beans counter have to do after being directed by Management to make cut backs. Vicious circle really.

So generally its undesireable. And the most important "no no" you would have achived is P##OFF THE OTHER PAYING PASSENGERS WHO ARRIVED ON TIME AND WANT TO MAKE CONNECTIONS LATER OR YOU MAY HAVE DELAYED THEIR PLANS IN DOING SO!

So thats why the Captain will say no, no extras, "Doors Closed is doors closed" otherwise why operate a Scheduled Service in the First Place?

If you want to be late, save up and get your Own Corporate Plane. Then youll never be late and the Crew will be at your whimsical Command for anything and wait around for hours just for you.
