Regulated flight time limits add a wrinkle to this argument that makes it go far beyond just a personal choice to load your monthly schedule with non-FedEx flying.
You're a full-time employee at an airline that expects you to be available to fly a normal schedule unless you're on LTD, vaca, training, sick, etc. Adult or not, you have no way of knowing if extra flying you do on the side is going to create an issue at the end of the month when your schedule gets revised and suddenly you have extra block hours you weren't counting on. Same with annual limits. Why do you expect FedEx to ignore potential scenarios that may result in you having to make a phone call to skeds telling them you've timed out?
