..........not that hard to get 22 hrs of OT.

Except in a month with leave, sep, sim etc. Or when coming up on 900 hours FT.

Its possible in maybe 5 months of the year, but say goodbye to your life in those months.

Know somebody up on 900 hours and between July and December he cannot do any overtime at all unless he takes two complete months off. This because of the 900 hour rule. Sure, he's been raking it in so far this year. No life to speak of though. And no more overtime money until 2007.

Would be fairly happy with 82-87 hours a month. But the company doesn't work like that. They work our asses off up to 900 hours and then stick us on sim support when we run out of hours.
