The risk of the business is transferred to the pilot under a low overtime system. Funny how that risk is never offset by reward….
Well said. Most entitlements are calculated on base salary. So all annual leave, LSL, sick leave, redundancy etc. Borrowing capacity from the bank does not necessarily have overtime in the equation.
Understand and be careful what you wish for.
