From: B767 Captain
Are we talking 10 or 15 minutes, or a lot early? I fly international almost exclusively and when I go to the flight planning area about 10-15 minutes before report time, I’m usually the second or third one there. I’ve only been first once or twice.

From: Happily coasting in the left seat until it ends.
1. Don't take your work home.
2. Work to live, don't live to work.
3. Save for a rainy day.
4. Stay off of internet message boards run by your labor group, or any other airline b!tch-board.
5. Never take advice from a pilot.

From: 18%er but I’ll enforce UPA23 to the last period.
Are you flying with a lot of commuters? They'd be there early. I drive but I sometimes get there early if it means beating rush hour traffic.

Do you not have dispatchers that plan your flights?

What's a "flight planning area"? Do you start your trips at an FBO?
