as more pilots go, the rostering dept has to get more creative and so does crewing. And you can bet that the people running the sections are putting pressure on to make things like this. They dont care about your eba as much as you do, after all, they are doing their job.
And its a thing where you know if this rostering practices are true then it is clearly in the know by the C.P and the FOM's. Its just they also dont care about your eba that much either! they get the best of both worlds, the benefits of the eba and the benefits of being in the boys club/management.
shame really.
There is a good but old article called "
Snakes in suits. When
Psychopaths Go To Work"

Anyways, at the end of the day, treat your professional workers with respect, honour the EBA, if they cant do that, its easy, vote with your feet.
