I will say that it feels like they are sending the pax down the jetway pretty quickly after the cabin crew these days though - I've noticed a lot more distributing of amenity kits, headphones, menus etc. after boarding has started in recent flights. Which might mean that the PDB gets squeezed out sometimes.
Thanks I have had one PDB this year in J and that was on LIS-YUL. Flew a lot to LIS this year which is a late departure, think it is normal to not have one on the late TATL departure (2130).
Today on AC5, they were rushing and disorganized on board from the start (pretty mid crew so far), I don't understand we boarded on time and the flight left early. Seems like bad crew management.
