Fully Staffed Handling Longer Than Allowed

Has anyone else experienced this issue that a fully staffed is expected to take longer than allowed before even starting?

I have never personally experienced this before today but noticed that there were multiple aircraft running close all having the medilift function. I also had 2x F100 aircraft each only having 9 and 8 seconds between estimated and allowed time and an SF34 with only 5 seconds between estimated and allowed and all fully staffed.

I am not sure whether this was a bug or not and whether was wondering if others had experienced this.

I don’t believe it’s a bug, I think it’s just due to the time constraints on different aircraft. I believe that the Medilift and the repair van are both extras so don’t count into the total handling procedure. My irl flight had a Medilift and resulted in the de-boarding being 45 minutes later than it should have been, though that was also because they didn’t have the stairs ready.

Typically, airlines identify Medilift users either at booking or during check-in and manage them to prevent schedule delays.
While delays due to pre-departure checks are understandable, we would prefer that Medilift arrangements not directly impact the success or failure of the contract.

Exactly the time restraint in game is determining the success or failure of a contract. Fortunately for my instance this happened on a contract that was not brand new. If that was not the case the contract would have been terminated and no fault as to any action I had done myself. It would have been impossible. It just doesn’t seem right.

In real life they be added in the times from the people who check in on the flight, they don’t just randomly appear like Mr Benn.

Yes today I noticed it, but luckily they gave you the option to use SP to make it not a delay which is handy.
