Itīs called "Low Cost," i.e. Penny-wise, Pound-foolish!
I completely understand and sympathise with kriskrossī and Map_Shiftīs frustrations. Itīs a story you hear throughout the EZY network.
As Iīve said before, with 100+ aircraft (and associated crew) itīs time in EZY for a computerbased bidding program so people can plan their own lives instead of some guy or gall in the PortaCabin Palace who doesnīt give a sh!t about anyoneīs personal circumstances.
Unfortunately management still
think itīs cheaper to have paper and pencil planners with the resulting sick days instead of investing in the future and buying a piece of software.
Personally, I donīt even bother with RDOīs anymore because then the company can see a pattern and can accuse me of pulling a sicky. I see it as a last resort, but when I really really need a day off I simply call in sick.
Oh yeah, I also call in sick once a year as compensation for having to do my medical in my own time, but not on the same day as my medical of course.
I no longer get mad, I get even whilst I look around for a new job!
