Once upon a time as a commuter , I managed to miss report time (due someone blocking the runwaqy at LHR) by about 10 mins , not a big problem , a/c left on time etc , no probs or so I thought , phone call from God reminding me of responibility etc , OK my fault I choose to live up north and to the west .
Two weeks later , on another trip I turn up for work to find myself alone as a prang on the M25 is causing probs , still no probs , do all the work and we leave lhr 2 1/2 hrs late . Little bit anoyed to find out that the two other pilots end up with letters from the company praising them for their professional and dedication to duty etc and also vouchers for M&S etc .
Have also heard rumours that my company keeps a beady eye on all commuters report times by fact of using their postcode etc and will always be treated diff by the company
