eye in the sky Having worked with Avman for many years I can only agree with his statements re the management. Just before I was medically retired (I fell asleep during a meeting and my yellow peril was yanked) it was considerd normal to work an early shift, attend a meeting - which could last from 1400 to 1800 - and then return for a night duty. Maximum working periods and breaks were deemed not to exist for Supervisors.
The reigns have been tightened so much that the morale of staff there has reached rock-bottom and is now digging into the bedrock. Management has zero creditability and a strike was recently nly narrowly averted, however it remains a distinct possibility.
Please note, this has actually nothing whatsoever to do with EGs, late comes, whatever. Most of the staff are adult enough to realise that these were a perk, granted only when and if possible. In fact as a Supervisor my watch did not keep track of these, it was done, again I stress, when possible , on a basis of who wanted, or needed it, most.
