negotiating with schedulers

also called 'playing the game' with crewing in shorthaul
this is not restricted to csms
e.g usually revolves around delays where an unscheduled
overnight with crew/pax due to duty limitations and disruptions.
crew may extend where individual and separate agreements with
crewing means crew extend....agreement may include increasing
overtime allowances for the day and even dropping a duty such as
2/4 legs futher in the roster and have it turned into a duty free day
....negotiating can be so much fun, lots more interesting than just
having a yes/no vote as in longhaul
