sounds strange.
.
when i swiped-in for my trip the other day, i saw a notice up on the noticeboards opposite the swipe-in computers at compass centre that said that overtime was available to CSD's; pursers and main crew on shorthaul until further notice.
there haven't been any messages posted on the BASSA (union) website that say anything like this - and they are always on the ball with the latest info.
i wouldn't read too much into it at all.
