A new manager in GOC is trying to get some attention with efficiencies. I am professional and do my job...BUT I operate within the contract, FAR's, and FOM. I show at show time and I do my job according to the countdown parameters. The company schedules me 1 hour for preflight not :50. I do not rush or cut corners I just do my job the same way I always do it. If it takes :40 great if it takes 1:20 no problem.

I believe Blue Threat taught us 'Normalization of Deviance' if preflight takes 1 hour and now they tell us to do it in :50 that becomes the new normal. I remember when International trips showed 1:30. After they changed it to 1 hour I always thought it was strange when a Captain would email me asking to show early...the company schedules the time and its "NMP" (Not My Problem)

Im surprised ALPA has not been engaged in this since the CBA 2015, 12.B.1 Defines show time as 1 hour prior to scheduled block out (Except Training 1st leg of IOE 1:30)

We push when we push...it helps being in the left seat now.
