Another fact: more than half of A320 F/Os are rostered for more than 80 hours for the month of december, some of them even going up to a 100 rostered hours !!!!! The rest: well, they are hardly rostered for more than 55 hours !!!!! Such an unbalanced rostering makes people unhappy on both sides not to speak about the difference of paychecks, rocketting sky high for some and getting slightly above the basic salary for others. Not that I am particularly fond of doing overtime on a regular basis, but this type of rostering is a shame, balancing it out will definitely bring some peace in the ranks and am pretty sure that the company will realize that they are not that short of F/Os. It's just poor rostering that gives this impression.
