Nothing like willfully violating rest requirements to try and get that flight out on time...
There are ways around it ofcourse. My point wasn’t why whether or not some people decide to show up early, it’s the fact that the company can even conceive such an idea think we will all just comply and not even notice. Mind boggling. The lengths to which they will go to save a penny is astounding. Which usually winds up back firing in the long run.
