What's better than a big solution to a thorny problem? A simple solution. Now, Delta Air Lines has explained a simple trick that it uses to turn planes around faster, which means passengers get where they're going on time, more often.

Did anyone ask the tug drivers if they really liked the aircraft ahead of them using breakaway thrust just as they were disconnecting the nose scissors? Anyone ask the bridge operator who now take four tries to line up the bridge at an angle to match the aircraft position!
