I said earlier from a real world standpoint today I feel like I work for a company that is worth putting in the "extra mile" so I have no bones about loading and reviewing the FPF in the van . . . TODAY . . .

but

legacy United pilots had a long history of holding the company to our contract and not doing extra or unpaid work when the situation between pilots and management was adversarial. So I just wish pilots at the new United could all agree that reviewing the FPF in the van is a form of going the extra mile, and we need to document that fact in an ongoing basis so it doesn't become "past practice" that suddenly turns into a contract requirement. That would be a loss that is already halfway done. Pan Am pilots had the contractual right to a dedicated flight planning location and time to review the papers, and UAL-ALPA fought to get that exact same right. Giving it up for free just because technology is changing would be a shame.
