Nabkin - the point is they don't work within the confines as you will see if you wait to go through eGATE at 60 prior.
They're rigging the preflight and grabbing an extra approvpx 30mins per duty.
Contrary to what Harry says - you cannot wait until 60 prior to go through without hearing about it.
I had dealings with ex ACPB (since gone) specifically over this issue.
It's one thing to have to do it - but to not even get paid for it is while we are already in OT is an added insult
