Contrary to what Harry says - you cannot wait until 60 prior to go through without hearing about it.
I had dealings with ex ACPB (since gone) specifically over this issue.
It's one thing to have to do it - but to not even get paid for it is while we are already in OT is an added insult
The FT article had the bouncy castle in a tizz, as we all know, and the incriminating 'time sheet' was removed. The email fm whomever advising it's removal did the rounds so I'm sure it'll turn up again somewhere.
The GCAA are not going to let this issue land in their lap, in my opinion, and should push come to shove, I believe our duty start time will be pushed back to 1:30, by the company, as more and more interested parties stick their noses in.
