Working on a G day (CX)

I'm just a little curious as to who out there is working on a G day without requesting the G day call out compensation?

As a general rule I don't answer my phone on a G day, however of late I've found myself short of $$$$ (buying a house, wife etc). So for the past few months I've been answering the phone saying "happy to help out.... but.... only for the G day call out $", the response is always the same "great thanks.... will call you back". Now the only logical reason as to why crew control has not called back once is, they have rung around and found all you turkeys out there willing to work on the G days for free!

Maybe some of you don't know your Vol 1......

GDO Callout Compensation will be 2.5% of the crew member’s basic monthly salary for each GDO worked.

I realise that some like the nice little letter in your file thanking you for working on a G day, but Please... either don't work on a G day, or at least ask for what you are entitled to!

Rant over
