There's room for that in the actual conditions, without the feared basings.
- Get back to 75h as OT baseline
- Include a new request for 75, 85 or 95 hours rostering. Up to 85 a nice OT compensation, up to 95 a huge OT comp.
- Take out the punitive restriction on consecutive days off and include a request to group d/o with remaining leave ( e.g. 7 + 5).
With this possibility, you might see a lot of pilots who previously moaned when rostered 95h wishing for that, because it pays well, and less pressing 2, because it will be self requested. At the same time others will wish for 75h and group d/o+l and be able to go home and be happy as well. This may change on a monthly base and granted according seniority.
This mix might even attenuate the actual lack of noses, but most certainly reduce the attrition.
It all comes down to have some competent guys come up with an intelligent solution.
(unfortunately therein lies the main problem at EK ... )
