Stop doing everyone else's jobs. Dispatch knows they need to file, ops knows paperwork needs to be delivered, fuelers know they need to pump gas, etc.
Quit worrying about fuel savings and lining BBB's pockets.
I know that the open time thing will not happen. I'm just saying that this is how you move things along. Otherwise, when the company gets around to caring about its employees, then we will see a TA.
