Just playing devil's advocate for a moment... re overtime etc
It's not a problem until it becomes more expensive than another alternative.😉
If "additional duty" payments are cheaper than hiring more pilots (training, superannuation, OH&S etc) there is little incentive for hiring. However if the pilots get fatigued by constant additial duties and, as is their legal responsibility, make themselves unavailable for same (or go sick), the costs associated with cancelled services may outweigh those of hiring.
Only then will a 'solution' need to be found....🤔😏
