I will gladly take the as low as 16 up to 18 days on call with only 6 or 7 short calls dependent on the ALV.
Also, would you rather have 85 hours pay at their ridiculous rates or 75.5 (average) at our rates? The grass is not always greener.
I knew there had to be a catch. Thanks. I'm still not buying the 85 hours though until I see it in the news somewhere.
