One could argue AA does a lot of stupid things but 30 minute outstation turns and schedule padding are both reasonable airline operations.

I get that today it worked out. However, in the event that things are simply on schedule and not early (or heaven forbid a few minutes late, this is AA after all), how is this possible?
