In case anyone is wondering they are calling people for a CRJ class on the 23rd.

I hope you guys don't have to start checking in 1 hr prior like we do(L-ASA). It's so dumb.

Or call to duty out.:mad:

or get occurrences when calling in sick. So lame.......

Why is it dumb? Is it dumb for all the people that punch the time clock when they get in? How about the people that walk past the bosses desk? Doesn't the company have the right to know if you made it to work so the flight can operate on time?

Are you freaking kidding me????

Are you some child that needs mommy and daddy to tell you when to go to bed? When to eat? When to pee?

I don't know about you, but I am a professional and a responsible adult. I can show up on time without having to check in.

Seriously? F that. I can get to work on time by myself. If I can't, I'm man enough to call scheduling and tell them what's up and to send an airport standby to take my place. If that happens I deal with the carpet dance that ensues. If I'm doing things right, it's covered by the commuter clause and I just send the chief an email.

The requirement to check in is crap and had better not make it into the next contract unless I can do it over my phone while I sit at the gate. Otherwise I'll just be calling scheduling every time to check me in as I walk to the gate like the few SMART flight attendants do.

If we were clocking in.... But we aren't, are we? Have some self respect...

LOL. I'm actually laughing, thanks. I'm a big boy. I know when to catch the school bus.

Those people that punch that clock get paid till they punch out, do you?

See that is the old school way of thinking. Treat everyone like babies and the company will run just fine. That works when you have a small company and other companies of similar industry have the same culture. Bottom line is, several other airlines operate with out this procedure. And they operate just fine. So why is it needed again?
