Look, I'm not disputing you that a big boy can be trusted to get to work at the gate. You should be able to. But, the whole 'pay me more and I can do it' thing just don't play! If pilots at the majors can make it to the crew lounge to check in at their multiple bases with multiple concourses then we can too. It's in the contract, fine. I'll back you on that. I just don't buy that lame a$$ agreement and I'm sick of hearing it. I also don't begrudge a company for wanting to know if an employee is at work when said job runs on a tight schedule.
You are the definition of a a jag bag... but good gawd. The numbers speak for themselves. How many times do we go out late for a missing crew member. Honestly... I've never seen it unless it was for some sort of situation. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Check in as early as you'd like but if the flight is operated on time who gives a ****.
