When is on time really late?

[markis10]

On time is not twenty minutes late in my book, wish my collegue was not on DJ913

I believe it is defined as plus or minus 5 minutes by BITRE for stats. But yes, it is frustrating the way the airlines interpret it!

Revised on time with the new time

That's how I would take it as well. The aircraft is now running on time with regards to its revised time of 9.20am.

I was of the belief it's +/- 15 mins.

I think 15 mins. Wish my boss thanked me for being on time when I'm 15 mins late to meeting.

Ahh, but being a railway man you may have a different definition of on time

(4 minutes 59 seconds is the measure for passenger rail services in Melbourne!)

according to my boss,,, if he's in the boardroom for an 8 am meeting and you're not... you're late...

Interesting you mention rail. I found this when I was catching NSW Countrylink a fortnight ago-doesn't make pretty reading

CountryLink: On-time running

Which brings out the old narrow gauge Ghan which ran at 40km/h from Adelaide to Alice Springs and if arrived on the correct day was deemed on time and did run days late.

Women on train; Sir, I need to get to a hospital as I am about to have a baby,
Conductor; Madam, you should not have got on the train in this condition.
Woman; Sir, when I got on the train I was not in this condition.
