Merged: ASA Staff Shortage

[RAAFASA]

while a small number of controllers consider that for them working “reasonable overtime” is optional.

Overtime is optional - that's why it's OVER time! Bloody hell - how hard is this concept? While they are working on defining "reasonable" overtime, I hope they also take a look at "recurrent" overtime - years and years of being asked, pressured and then bullied to work overtime not just occasionally, but constantly. Once a month is not reasonable IMHO - overtime should be a short term, emergency solution to an unforseen problem, not an ongoing, cheap replacement for adequate staffing.
