FDX - Are you still woring 15 Minutes for free?
Since all of the focus has been lately about the reduced BLG, 61:46 for me next month, I would like to focus on some other lost hours.
We used to have 15 minutes scheduled prior to every trip 1:15 show prior to launch. Now we have an 1:00. More lost pay.
Are you still showing up to the folder 15 minutes early? That is fifteen minutes or your time. That is time you are working for free, never mind extra at straight pay. You are working for free!!
I admit I was still doing it, but no more. If FedEx says a show of one hour prior to launch is all I need to do all of the admin required prior to flight and catch a bus to the jet, then one hour it is. At the folder one minute early is still early, I will be on time. "The World On Time" is on the side of our jets, not "The World Early". I will more than likely be in AOC anyway, but I will catch fifteen more minutes of Oprah on the TV prior to arriving at the counter.
Nothing unprofessional about showing up on time ready to do my job, at the time FedEx says I should be there.
And you will not catch me on a crew bus prior to show that is for sure!
