[QUOTE="Anonymous Coward, post: 75446"] I have to laugh! Nowhere did I say anything about weather, I used the term "sort window". The air hub in Louisville uses that as a "catch all" for their inability to get the cans out to the aircraft on time. The sort window is for the cans at the aircraft, ready for departure, not the greedy pilots who, "want more money and less accountability. More money and fewer results.", your words, not mine! Do you suggest that we depart on time without the aircraft loaded? I'll make sure I do that, just so we show up on time and "You" do not have to wait! Operating an airline (flying aircraft) is like an Orchestra performing a piece of music; everyone interacts and plays off of each other. Timing is everything, if one musician is off, everyone will know it. The concert will receive a bad review.
