I've had a bunch of gate agents lately want to close the door 15 minutes prior, and I've only been in the seat for 2-3 minutes. They are not happy. Talk to Jeff about the report times.
If the company doesn't want to pay me to be there earlier, that's fine with me. As stated earlier, I don't do company work on my time. That is time negotiated by my union. If the company won't pay me, I don't work. That's not being unprofessional, it's called a job!

Those 15 minutes are equal to 52.5 cents.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't ALPA and the company agree to that 45 minute report time? If they didn't then how did it get into the contract?
