A plane could pushback at the gate on-time, and sit on the runway for 6 hours, yet that is considered an "on-time" departure, go figure. Northwest used to be guilty of this, back in the day.

That's why airlines pad out schedules.
A newspaper report last year pointed out that BA now takes a lot longer to fly London to Paris than in the 1970's, even though the actual flying time is the same if not even a little shorter.

It's easier to do it for long-haul flights than for the shorter ones. United's LAX-SYD flight, for instance, is scheduled for 15 hours. I've taken that flight about 9 times and it's never lasted more than 14. The scheduled departure time is usually circa 11 p.m. pacific standard. It usually departs around midnight and gets into SYD on time.

Can anyone tell me if timetabled departure and arrival times refer to actual takeoff/landing times or pushback/pull in times ?
