This applies, when the OT is not at premium. Flying open trips at 100% is not kosher, but at premium, it hurts the company.
At Envoy, OT pickups costs more than what staffing the airline appropriately would. The old etiquette does not apply at MQ.
That is why the company wanted to remove our OT LOA.
