Do you really think management reads anything into us doing not O/T or anything else for that matter? Whenever I bring any kind of issue up with them the answer is always given in what their minimum requirements are under the legislation. They couldn't care less about whether we are engaged or not,as long as planes go out and that they can't be held accountable for the ones that don't.
Please don't get me wrong, not working O/T is a useful tool we can use, but don't expect our current management to pick up on any subliminal message we're trying to send.
