It really comes down to this, I don't work for free or on my own time.
That is such a lame excuse. What is your price for being a professional? Aren’t you a former intern? Confirming the myth.
You are being paid per diem in the van. The same amount you are paid until the brakes are released. So what is free? Do you wait until after brake release to flight plan?
Your good will has been beaten out of you? You’ve have a pretty golden career compared to many others at UAL.
