As much as I like when crews add humor into their routine, the whole "we will fly extra fast to make up time" line is getting old.
There's very little the pilot can do to fly faster, or make up time. Most of the time recovered is simply schedule buffer so that one delayed flight doesn't cause dozens throughout the day, and affect monthly reporting statistics.
Not trying to be a downer on a fun thread, just venting after recent delays and hearing the same talking point every time...
