Domo you are the only person who hasn't taken a shot at people doing overtime.
Aeromedic you need to pull your head in.
You don't know what anyone's financial circumstances are, and if you think you might be getting the boot then any extra money is going to help.
There are a lot of young LAMEs in 380 as well as a few young 330 tickets as well, and if the older but LAMEs have their way it will be last on first off, so when the old farts are saying this to you everyday you start to doubt your position.
If it is last in first off, then 20 380 tickets could be out the door not to mention all the initial 330s as well. You would hope the company isn't that stupid but history says otherwise.
And the another thing about the O/T is the short memories that people have, did you forget when the LAMEs smashed the O/T in 2000\2001 when the AMEs were fighting for an EBA and had bans in place.
Then the AMEs smashed it when the LAMEs were fighting in 2008.
This time everyone is in the same boat, no-one knows what is around their corner so if someone decides to earn an extra dollar so be it.
If these people worked O/T normally and they are doing it now nothing has changed.
If it is someone who doesn't normally do it and they are smashing it now, good on them too. Working it or not is not going to change the outcome.
Just remember not everyone is a Level 10 pre 96 with extra payments for higher duties.
