Please explain how disrupting your own roster, by working a G day, shafts your mates on reserve? Are you implying he has to stay on reserve, not called out? Is that a bad thing? You obviously like working more than me!
Both CX and KA have had years of CC with little to show its effectiveness. KA had a few months of high departure rates and suddenly they get near 20% payrises. CC is a great focus for poor morale but the organisational effectiveness of it is far less than people suppose. It does, however, send a loud clarion call to the world of the state of unrest in the pilot body.
So in the meantime, if you want to work a G day because you are bored and 2.5% is appealing to you, go for it. If it takes you into overtime you will have been amply rewarded for disrupting your own roster. I think that stating that someone working a G day screws you is a little bit sophistic, to be honest. We need to average almost 9 Gs a month to satisfy AFTLS and 10Gs to satisfy the RPs. If individuals carrying out CC becomes a problem CX would just need to roster the minimum Gs and make the rest of the roster duties, O days and reserve.
Flame away;-)
