I turned down sub and went home. Now I'll have to go into OTP next month to make up the hours lost. Can't afford to lose the pay.
Overnight fr8, Nobody minds guys making up trips for an averag BLG. I'm just amazed that Fed Ex pilots want to work 2-4 extra days a month(even during delaying tactics by the company). Let's take a number between 1-9 and look at the BLG for that VTO line holder in a couple of seats. Let's use 8 because of your user name. Another random choice for seats but maybe your seat and my seat for a sampling. Neither pilot has min days off. They both are requesting to work overtime at staight time. Astonishing
