I don't know how your airline operates, but at the two I've flown for the out time has been based on doors closed & brakes released. Engine start doesn't factor into it.

depending on the aircraft there are atleast two or three ways to beat the acars;
1 reset the clock on the maintenance function
2 pull either the vhf 3 breaker (what it transmits on) or the ACARS breaker itself
3 (i know we did this on the atr all the time) push the switch on the parking brake if you can reach it with a pen or finger

Here we go again what?
ASA's performance or lack thereof is the result of a multitude of factors including its primary hub of operations, its priority below DAL mainline during restricted operations, inefficient ground operations, failed operational management, lack of pure flying in their ONLY domicile, and yes, labor issues with the pilot group.

Atlanta ramps are pathetic. No motivation....no supervision....no "give a ******" attitude.......
Oh yeah......put a female ramper out there with the male rampers?!?!?!?........and they wouldn't notice an aircraft if it ran over them. Too busy trying to flirt and grope "shawty"!

When I'm delayed at a gate most the time it boils down to incompetence by the gate agents and ground crews. IAD I've boarded countless times with no paperwork yet and several times at JFK they've just loaded bags and not say anything until we ask then they have to radio in to see if they want bags or people off and 45mins later they arrive to the same conculsion we did right away.
I don't blame much on the actual regional airlines anymore.

I was unaware that TAMDAR could be used to report in/off/on/out times. My impression was that it's used solely to transmit weather information to NASA.

I'm considering placing a video camera on the glareshield of the RJ when we point the aircraft at the gate and wait for the rampers to park us. They have the quickness of a sea turtle on prozac. That is if you can get them to leave the card game inside the ops area. Maybe I could share that with Delta Ramp Supervisors as they make their weekly visits to the ASA crew lounge to gather "info" on how to improve ramp operations.
