It takes 10 to 15 minutes for everyone to get off the plane, then it takes 5 to 10 minutes to do a very minimal job of aircraft cleaning. I always find junk and trash in my seat area. Then it takes another 15 to 20 minutes to board.
I'm no math major but there just isn't enough time.
Oh but management has done "studies" and they believe it can work so it must be workable. They are living in a fantasy world. I've turned planes around in 20 minutes before but either the inbound was very lightly loaded or the outbound was, or both, and the plane was in a shambles when the new passengers boarded, not an image we should try to convey to our customers.
