[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1353885, member: 17867"] True enough but the penalty pay usually doesn't make up for missing whatever plans you have that evening which is he reason for the 8hr request in the first place. I mean with all the 10+ hr days we put in its not too much to ask that two days a month I can plan to be somewhere by 1800. My last center manager.. one day I had and 8 hour set up and I get a dispatch that's easily a 10 hour day. Went to center manager and said I'll need help today for my 8. He said "I don't care. File your grievance you'll get paid." Was so pissed that I turned in two 8s the next month on days I didn't need just to rack up grievances on this guy. Thank god he left us and is running a Freight terminal now. Present center manager works to get me to what I am trying to get to for my 8s. I realize it's a pain sometimes because I am a cover and they might not know what route I am on till an hour before PCM. But he makes the effort. "I don't care." What a piece of work he was. [/QUOTE]
