That doesn't seem to be related to padding. Airlines still like to arrive early. If there's no gate available, it's cheaper for the airline to wait on a taxiway than to circle in the air. Fuel costs are a major driver of airline profitability, hence airlines have no incentive to spend time in the air if it's not absolutely necessary. |
