Yes I would rather have it put on my schedule, but that's just me...... When I come in for a trip I sign in and go do a briefing and then fly, I don't hang around at the airport. I am not saying it is "that hard" but rather I would like time allocated that is not on my off time or vacation. I am scheduled to be off from when the material is available until well in Aug, I just don't like being told I have to do something for work while on vacation. It'll get done it always does but I don't have to like the way it is being implemented.

If your working a 6 figure job your asked to work way beyond normal hours in the real world. If you choose not to you soon find yourself on the street or in a dead end career track.
Sorry dude I have worked in the real world..... I paid for my college and certificates by roughnecking, so I understand hard work and what it takes to make it! I also have owned a profitable small business (did this right after BK) and I worked 7 days a week and put in about 12 hours a day when not flying plus worked during off time on trips.
