Isn't that a little extreme? There are many highly motivated, highly successful, hard working people out there who are late for a flight on the rare occasion. Unless they are applying for pilot or f/a or organ transplant courier, the on-time check-in statistic wouldn't register anywhere in my evaluation of a job candidate's skill sets and value to my company.
