+2 - The MCT is just that, minimum. If I can make it roughly 75% of the time, I'm happy. But, I also understand that there are people who are less mobile, less able to cope and who worry themselves sick. So, those people should book more than the MCT.

It does take being proactive. Carriers & TA's don't book you, you book on or through them. If they offer you something which isn't workable for you, tell them it doesn't work for you.
