Exactly the reason I posted. I don't work my G days but that is of no consequence to all you loud mouthed protesters who shout away without the facts!
Iceman50, keep working your G days then.

So to play devil's advocate. Is it okay for you to get overtime but not for this person to be able to pick 25 hrs HDP, without going into overtime. So he is stealing YOUR money, but you are NOT stealing his as he has not reached 84 hours?

Iceman are you serious, devils advocate? if the roster is printed with a reserve block and you go into overtime whos fault is that, we all get an equal share of reserve each calendar year, It's fair, except when people work Gs and cut you out of the system.
Yes working Gs is stealing off those on reserve who don't get called out it's simple.
If guys are so desperate to work Gs please search the roster and swap with those on reserve!!!!

I think you have your date wrong. As did the guy the other night about 271?

Perhaps you should learn to read and read all posts, before you make stupid comments.

To play devils advocate again, you have no greed then wanting overtime when someone has less than 84 hrs HDP?

Why do so many not get it? Ignorance, apathy and greed.

Justifiable G?
Lord knows I went thru a keen phase when I joined and did some G day stuff. Thankfully, I have grown out of that!!
Anyway, surely there is justification for working a G day if you will get overtime for it yourself as well as the paltry G day payment?
The couple of times I have agreed to it (a while ago now I might add) I was already at 80+ hours and the extra long-haul work took me into the 100+ category. Is that not fair enough for guys to do that as the company has to pay a handsome premium for your extra services? Maybe some of these guys being 'outed' as lowly G day workers are in that category?

CXDOG, it still means there is a guy on reserve who would go into 110+ hrs.
No matter how anyone spins it working a G day is the CHEAP option for CX and somebody is not getting as much OT as he could.

I think I can summarise most of the previous posts on this thread with the following statement;-
"ANYONE WHO WORKS ON A G DAY IS A C**T & IS SHOVING A PINEAPPLE DIRECTLY UP THE BUTT OF THE ENTIRE 2,500+ PILOT GROUP INCLUDING HIMSELF."

Iceman,
Don't bother, you won't ever understand it, it doesn't come with a sharkfin logo. Now keep flying rubber dog s*it out of Hong Kong on your G days, since you got nothing else better to do with your life quite obviously.

sorvad, no need to browse through real-time rosters, crew control does a pretty damn good job in broadcasting which flights to watch out for.
sydneyman, good on you, remained silence the whole time and jump on the local guy right away the first chance you get, that says a lot. please don't turn this into one of those expat vs. local war again, I'm sure there's a lot of expat G day callouts that could be uncovered if you really wanna make the distinction amongst the sinners. Be it expat or local, it's still wrong to screw your mate/colleague over like this.
