Seems to be a dilemma.
I don't know anything about the real life from the pilot, company point of view but had experienced plenties of felay for various reasons as passenger
and could hear the remarks around. Usually, they blame almost anyone but not the real responsible. One blame the staff who toke sooo loong to register
their boarding. The other (it was in fashions some years ago) tells "It's always like this with Air France because it is a state company so they are
not acountable about anything and then don't care ".
Most often, the pilots and crew are spared by the passengers irritation but:
Once in a very long taxi trip a guy was sure that this stupid pilot was lost in the airport .
Another time when arriving before scheduled time I heard a brave lady telling that she indeed noticed the pilot was flying too fast...
So the one who want to test his/her capacity to schedule a flight time the best is time airborn.
The one who want to stay close from the passenger feeling and enjoy the spice and realism of random AI traffic events like take off waiting or go
around will prefere block time.
I think I would go for block time because it is more flexible:
The day I don't want to wait for take off I turn off AI traffic and or board/unboard the passengers at the edge of the runway
My father always says that when we must choose between 2 possibilities we must find a 3rd one... So, may be it could be a user's parameter setting ?
