Great post Pixy
I actually have 4 days AL in Jan 2016(overlaps to Feb2016 11 days)
And at 87:15 hrs with a HS in as well for good measure my actual hrs should be 98:25 and if you include the Sim 102:25 hrs and I did get a ULR to US as well in there. So that's a 10hrs overtime loss of roughly 6,240aed!!!!
Good money I could use and to starve off a bit of fatigue.
There was a research article I read in American Scientific Magazine (showed it to JA at a wash up about 4 years ago) that said that compensation for EXTRA work above the normal actually suppresses fatigue as its a Reward and the opposite happens if no reward is given and actually Compounds Fatigue!! It's all brain chemicals and fatigue affects us on a very long term level. A few days of Leave will not be able to cure with a few nights of sleep!!! It's a ever tightening spin without a rudder to correct.
