You print out a pairing before you fly, right? Do they pay you enough for that?
And where the hell do you draw the line between having no heartburn over dutying in and fueling the plane? Sorry, but I have way more pride in what I do than anyone who needs more money to freaking duty in so the company knows you got to the assignment. Makes perfect sense to me. In fact, the ones who are so against it are the sorry sacks that don't have enough pride and personal responsibility to get to work on time.
This is absolutely ludicrous to anyone who's ever worked in any other industry....
