Not having preassigned duty shifts (except maybe duty weekends) with another viable source of income.

I know there are some agencies where the "volunteers" get paid for calls.

 

[Stevo]

Not having preassigned duty shifts (except maybe duty weekends) with another viable source of income.

let's see......the last few years my preassigned duty shifts equaled 876 hours, but it's been up to 1454 hours in the past, and that's not counting when i simply decide to pinch hit

and i have a totally seperate viable source of income

Dictionary anyone?
