I've been gold with priority almost continuosly for 2 years.
I've never seen a juicy airport run either.The good citizens of Bray Dalkey Naas etc must get business flights every morning.
There must be a time delay on the prebookings so all I see is the big standard Churchtown to Baggot St kind of stuff,while the ambassadors fill their boots.

That’s the trickle down of jobs in FreeNow, they never made any bones about it.
VanDriver, you need to become an ambassador to see the juicy jobs.

John, you have openly admitted you work fuk all and when you work fuk all, you are gonna make fuk all.
I worked my early morning shift last week, Monday to Friday, earliest I started was 2:30am, and the latest I was out was 10am. And that was only on one day. Typically done 5 or 6 hours.

I was on Gold status a few times and I am a FN Ambassador, but honestly there is never anything on the pre-book list that would interest me, the vast majority of pre-books (in Cork) are under 18 Euro, even when on Gold Ambassador status.
I do enjoy being an Ambassador with Priority status, that will keep me busy all the time on instant hails.

Ken, as an ambassador, which in your opinion would you consider to be more Fair/Appropriate:

1. Have a preferential time call over other drivers
2. Have a cheaper % fee on Jobs completed

He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears.

"create division" ?
Are you suggesting that before Hailo/MT/FN there was unity amongst the Drivers ?

I would prefer option 1 as it keeps me busy most of the time.
Option 2 would be great but fer me option 1 is more important.

My fees per week usually come in at about 60 Euro on FN, as I do a lot of street work by night in the 'Jungle hours'.
And I take a Lorra time off Mid-week !

If you cannot open this link .The programme will be reshown on BBC set your recorder its frightening all the data they hold .From the time you accept until you arrive they track you and your speed and direction then while you do the job they track you but they also track you even when your app is off .It was suggested they feed work indiscriminately not to nearest driver so they can keep more drivers engaged .If they give all the work to a few drivers then the rest will rebel .That is why I asked how many pre bookeds on average an ambassador has to do .If you are trying to reach a certain status then you will be obliged to cover all the crap to hit your targets .
