Just had my second flight crew time out on me waiting at EWR. In this instance the plane arrived at the gate on time and the cleaning was completed on time, but boarding was delayed (I haven’t heard why). I’m genuinely interested in what the flight crews are doing on the plane? Are they just on the plane chillin? If not, what are the flight crew doing when delaying boarding that causes time outs? I’m genuinely interested and not attempting to be harsh or harmful to flight crews who are working hard during the holidays.

One thing you might also want to keep in mind about the flight attendants in particular: they generally don’t start getting paid until the flight leaves. If a flight is delayed for hours on the ground, all they time they spend talking to passengers, reassuring them, absorbing their anger and frustration, bringing them drinks, etc, they don’t get paid for it. Please be kind to them, everyone.
