Baloney. A pilot gets paid for flight time only. What he does in between
flights is his own time. The boss sure isn't paying for it.

As for shoveling the walk to the terminal without pay -- at what point in
your career do you start refusing to do that? When you become a charter
pilot? Start flying for the regionals? Majors? Just wondering how long you
plan to keep your work ethic.
