max1,
My point, in a rather convoluted way, is this. What YOU or I decide is REASONABLE is irrelevant. We don't get to make that choice. ASA are telling us (in their own special confrontational IRC way) that THEY decide what is reasonable, not you. You are just a worker ant. There are untold numbers of media bites of the ASA CEO complaining that ATC's are being UNREASONABLE (amongst other things).THEY (ASA) set the employment conditions....YOU agree to them when you sign up,
ipso facto any time you don't do what they want you are being UNREASONABLE (theres that word again)...
Which is all to say that to prevent any of this rubbish in the future, REASONABLE should be CLEARLY defined (clearly enough to be monitored, by BOTH sides) in the next CA, if not deleted from it entirely. If ASA want to run a BUSINESS that is propped up by permanent 50+ hour weeks, they can at least put their requirements in black and white, not by the disengenious method of "REASONABLE". IMO.
