My favorite is 'work stacking'.
And I quote from the RP07 agreement "19.1 When a crew member has annual leave or sickness on the published roster, the roster for the remainder of the month will reflect TYPICAL DUTY CYCLE DISTRIBUTION for the crew members category and base."
I guess that explains why a few months ago how they managed to cram 81 hours into one month AND still give me two weeks leave. Or the time before that, after returning from leave and they only had 3 workable days left for the month, they still managed to give me 25 hours of duty.
Why hasn't this been addressed by the AOA in the recent negotiations, as I've certainly JRC'ed it and everyone else that I've spoken say the same. It's such an obvious breach of the rostering agreement, yet nothing changes. Why???
