The I’m not gonna do sh$t for this place attitude is pretty immature and unprofessional IMHO. It’s a pretty great job, and pressing 3 buttons on your IPad a little early isn’t that great a sacrifice. Love seeing the attitudes of the new guys coming in who really want to make this place great.
That's a very nice thing to do. However, I must not be that motivated.
I do not flight plan until I'm paid. I do not look at the flight plan in the van. The company is counting on us working on our own time so they can have a longer duty day without paying for it. If we leave late because of it, when enough reports come in about inadequate report times, then it will change back to what it was.
I am not on duty in the van, I am not being paid, FAR 117 has not started, I should not be doing duty not on the clock.
Sorry, but that is the way I am. We will also flight plan together, when we report for duty. Not go to the plane and skip flight planning. Yes, the company is skating on this, intentionally--and they know it.
