Should we be doing voluntary overtime?
Orchestrated or not, ANSPs all seem to be increasing contractural hours to compensate for understaffing and providing no contingency.
Individuals seem to ignore their accumulated fatigue when enough money is presented to them to do overtime and when they do it often enough ANSPs could surely be forgiven for thinking that our contracts do not work us hard enough. Perhaps we should look at the bigger picture and think carefully about whether the extra pennies for today's voluntary overtime justify the inevitably enforced extra hours later in our careers.
