You raise a good point, I've never actually missed one either, but it's always the threat it'll happen right? Or "this one guy I talked with in the crew room, his cousin, who flies for mainline, missed his EDCT time by 15 seconds and the next thing he knows, he's been re-routed to Newark VIA Tel Aviv. True story dude! What type? 737...hey they're ETOPS!"

But I'm still generally very interested in getting out the door as soon as ATC allows it. I HAVE been in situations where ATC has said, "Can you be off the ground in 5 minutes? If so we can get you outta here."
