Magplug,
In that case, your manager has totally the wrong idea of how to manage anybody, let alone pilots. Yes - of course one needs to keep track of costs, airline flying is about transporting people and freight, safely and at minimum cost. But, a flight manager needs to look after his people every much as he need to look after the bottom line. If he doesn't, he is in deriliction of his duty. And I speak as an ex-flight manager.
