A pilot isn't a fueler, mechanic, customer service agent, ramp agent, caterer, wheelchair coordinator, or paperwork fetcher. We should allow those employees to have the space and time to do their work, and reap their reward for responsibility (or lack thereof)!
This is a really relaxing job, for those of us who get it. I feel bad for the pilots who try to carry the entire operation on their shoulders. We don't get paid enough to be that stressed. Low pay, no profit sharing, no contract? Chill, mon!
This is what's going through my mind when there's no paperwork, catering, fueling and we are 10 minutes past departure time:

After we get the correct pay scale, then we have to make sure that the annual raises keep up with inflation.
I should have been more clear with my previous post.

Um, out of my 5 years here at NK, I only have 5 total JRM. Days off supersedes $$ for me. The S/N was created during a battle with Polutti and the gang a while ago to throw stones. Pot me kettle my a$$ chump!

The OB even states section 8.4.2 of the FOM has been completely rewritten. I hope you just missed the OB.
