Lets give a cough cough ahem 'hypothetical' situation. I, sorry, a pilot was on a roster that involved 10 hour shifts. Virtually every day for weeks, he finished late because of late jobs. He hardly ever got home on time and did not get any extra pay for the hours he was 'unofficially' working. Said pilot suggested that the shifts be changed to 12 hours, seeing as he was damn near doing that anyway. He was told...... No, it is too expensive. So he decided that if a job came in during the last hour, he would inform tasking of the time he would be landing at base with an allowance to put the aircraft to bed. Did they still want him to go? He rarely does discretion these days, his CHOICE, not theirs. He often feels very tired near the end of the shift.
Taskers. Want a good service????? Then pay for it.
