"The bottom line is that out of any random 10 shows, at least one, probably more, is going to require backing things up timewise beyond the standard call times. And that means an expense."
That's a pretty definitive statement, in my opinion. 95% of the time, IATSE work is done in 20 minutes, in MY "experience [of] some not-insignificant number of shows", which, again. number in the literal thousands.
You and I both agree that opening the house earlier is unnecessary, so I'm not even sure why this is a discussion. We are talking about highly unlikely hypotheticals...and now I'm reminded why I seldom post, and will return to lurking.
