[QUOTE="SignificantOwner, post: 857586, member: 22836"] There are a couple things I'd like more freedom to do - run more routes sometimes and skip the nonsensical safety stuff. I believe in safety training but sometimes the safety department comes up with crazy ideas that aren't effective and cost a lot of time that we don't have. When it comes time to add the proverbial extra route it can often be done with some effort. For example, I'll get on the phone with the other centers in the division and see where they stand. If the division has room for my extra route then I add it. It takes effort, and I can't always swing it, but I can often work it out. I also call my boss and make my case. Sometimes he tells me to add it even though he'll take some heat and sometimes he doesn't. If the results are good everything will be fine. If I add a route and the excess hours are terrible and I have late air then it will be hard to make a case tomorrow. Sure, I'd like to not have to jump through those hoops, and the hoops take time that I'd rather spend fixing your dispatch, but I can only do what I can do. Some improvements in the dispatch systems would really help. [/QUOTE]
