HN can be funny. Since this is an article about the airline industry, a lot of people here are criticizing them for setting lower expectations and padding times. And this is an industry that deals with so many environmental, regulatory, administrative and personnel problems completely out of their control.
On the other hand, if it's an article about how "PMs ruin software engineering by pushing for unrealistic deadlines", all of a sudden a job role that depends largely on just people and their (fairly reliable) computers justifies 2x or 3x the time estimates.
