Coming from the small tower perspective once again.....

Here at my first small tower, it's 5 on 2 off - mine used to be mon/tue now they are tue/wed.

We don't even get to see the light of day - "day" being overtime - because i guess we have the option of earning credit hours instead of getting paid OT... Maybe it's mandatory to get hours instead of actual OT pay. or maybe it's mgmt's choice?

Anyway, I feel for the 6-dayers; i know a couple of them in SoCal Apc and I always thought the money would be nice, but the constant workload doesn't make it worth it, in their opinion.
