That aside, presumably there wouldn't be any misconnects if you arrive between 15 and 5 minutes prior to the scheduled ON time.
I agree with what you say about this being more useful at the gate restricted airports, but those same airports are where you're likelier to get caught in protracted vectoring and assigned speeds, which would increase the risk when cutting it close.
I wonder if the window will always be 15 to 5 prior, or that's just a typical example.

My post was about fuel burn, not overall cost.

This requires the ground crews to be absolutely ready every time, or performance will suffer. Thus, I predict that this policy won't last.

I think here's what pilots should do. Block out as close to ontime as possible. Within 5 minutes. Then, fly the speed the flight plan says, manage fuel along the way, check weather, monitor aircraft systems, be safe using known methods like TEM, be ready for the descend via clearance and comply with ATC instructions. Let the bean counters worry about the other crap. In other words, don't change anything. Not our problem to be tail routers and pax coordinaters. eff that ess.
