But no one asked my opinion when they made up the rules.
Seriously? Would you want to have to get to the airport 2 hours before your shift starts? When flight crew are travelling for pleasure, they wait in line like everyone else. I would quit my job if I had to be there 2 hours early, un-paid. That makes no sense, Ron.
