O days were introduced in 2001 as a response to the industrial action at the time. They were designed to increase flexibility during the maximum safety campaign being run by the union. The then DFO (NR) said; "If the pilots show some goodwill, we will consider removing O days", ... or words to that effect. Of course, they never did, and now the majority accept them as part of the way things are.

The whole purpose of an O day was to make sure crews that were caught out downroute by disruptions and cancellations in HKG can get back to HK with out it affecting their G days, now the company uses them as free reserve days

Problem now is these mo’tards will not relinquish them. Therefore the NC should draw a line in the sand with regards to O days in the future RP. If they are used at all and a subsequent duty performed on an O day then it should be compensated at G day call out rates, or they can remove them from RP altogether. I know which option I want....
