Good point.
The o/t is to help your pals cope with their shifts so that they help you cope with yours.
Last year the CAA whated to know what man power to A/C ratios we had. (6 A/C to one tech and one mech)
They showed great concern, but the company wrote them a letter telling them we had blokes on courses ,this they then accepted and went away, but as soon as theses trained men arrived the management reallocated some of the summer alocated men to other bases!
I know some of you will say "stand up and don`t do the O/T that will make the company act" but like alot of companies we have a couple of people who would do 70 to 80 hours a week if you let them.(the CAA also were aware !!!!)
So where do you go from here. Do you think companies can regulate them selfs or does the 4 days off give them a big lever to plead for you to do O/T.
I have no complaints with the company as such, but what is the correct ratio of A/C to men, help me out with some numbers.
does the ANO state anything or BCAR`s.
