Garden shed, it is a given that we will be flying 90 hours every month but it would be nice if now and again we could do an extra one or two hours a month and get some overtime for it. We are getting all of the disadvantages of being rostered to the overtime limit but none of the benefits.
The rigidity of the overtime limit makes swapping almost impossible as everybody is right up to max hours and the company will not allow even one minute of overtime. Last month I tried to do a swap which would have added 20 minutes to my rostered block hours. Refused as it would have given me 10 minutes of overtime. This month I have a huge 5 minutes spare!
