I know for a fact that the company relies on thousands of G days worked 'off roster' every year. They always have. CC is a small start I admit but if it is indeed as ineffectual as they say then why do they make such a big deal about it? Just leave us all alone on our days off and Leave days. Do they do that? Ask yourself. Captains being the most expensive to employ full time will get the most requests to work as do relief qual F/O's. Extensions of duty, split duty, reduced rest and ULH crewing...none of these disruptions would be happening if, as they say, we are fully crewed. There's no intimidation from the top (tongue in cheek) so what's the problem politely refusing to do anything we're not paid for at penalty rates? It's a bit hard to ask for a pay increase when it's obvious we'll do it all for free! Let's give it a try and see.
Productivity, scheduling and crewing are all tighter now than previously managed so what's the harm?
It doesn't require much effort.

Great debating skills, respect.

Honestly, what are you ( and valhalla) going to do?

Well now that CC has been started let's see how many G day workers are out there
Irrespective of whether you are in the union or not, you are hurting your fellow crew members by working on G days so it's about time you took the inconvenience with the rest of us .
Once all the facts are known and this is very important. Perhaps instituting a name and shame should be considered . Be it here or the union web site I care not , but there should be consequences should you choose to screw your compatriots for your own personal gain
