Are you guys at A90 on 6 10’s?
No one is on a full time 6-10’s full time but overtime is very area dependent. KP is in the North and I am in the South area. There are more people that are on the volunteer list in the North area than the South, so that helps people not get overtime who don’t want it.
I am on the no-list / non volunteer list, and will have 270 hours for the year by mid December. Of that, I took 2 extra days of overtime total. Twice I came in for 2 hours they called me on the front of a shift.
Of the two I willingly took, one overtime shift was a mid and I had a week of mids (4-10’s) so I was like ok. The other was off another controller as he did a swap to help me out so I took his overtime since he was also on the no list.
All the rest was scheduled, including multiple 10 hour days during the summer, but they ebb and flow. I got to kick back a few overtimes they tried to give me such as fatigue weekends because they missed it and assigned them anyway, or in conjunction with annual leave when I was out of town and also ones relating to my prime time weeks of leave.
It’s been a bad year in our area due to some lost medicals, transfers, and attrition. Saturday / Sunday off also unfortunately had the most need for overtime, so it was what it was…. 664 days till eligible to retire!
