[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 53995"] Maxwell, Before your post, I was led to believe that company pilots had a cushy job that allowed for a life of leisure and bliss. As a feeder driver I know what it is like to flip-flop days then nights then mornings then evenings. It is hard on a body and a marriage. I imagine the people in Atlanta as well as most pkg drivers are on a set schedule that allows their bodies, and their life, to expect certain things at certain times....such as sleep. They may not understand a job entailing a 2 day foray, as you have described, across the nation covering the 24/7 timeline, with little/no sleep and, on top of that, not getting paid for some segments. I would like to think the company would rid themselves of the "love it or leave it" mentality the so permeates it's culture and utilize it's "greatest asset" (people) to a mutually beneficial end. Thanks for making us aware of your situation. Scheduling seems to be the biggest issue among pilots and I hope the company can see their way clear to make adjustments that are reasonable and responsible. Godspeed. [/QUOTE]
