If the airplane loads up and pushes back within x minutes of scheduled "departure" it is considered an on-time takeoff. Doesn't matter that the passengers then spend interminable minutes/hours stuck in the aluminum tube on the ground waiting to take off....no ability to get snacks or drinks, no going potty...just strapped in.

In my experience JFK is the worst, but haven't flown from O'Hare. Atlanta is tolerable, although recent experiences are tempered by the overall slowdown in air traffic, and thus fewer aircraft competing for takeoff slots.
