Very good point 68dart, thanks 
Doing the Congressional reseacrh now on both points of interest. I'm sure your right on the "airtight" part, as I believe possably DOD prohibits the uplift in OT, and by ITT having an MEO (Middle East Office) helps skirt the time and a half issue, by having their ATC employees fall under Afghanistan Labor Law (which is proving to be a very interesting document as my Law Firm tells me,since there are quite a few AL Laws ITT "chooses" to turn a blind eye to. (wow, what a run-on sentance)

Serco was like that where I worked. The ATM there was convinced (and he said the head office backed him on it) that the FARs didn't even apply because we weren't required to keep a copy of the FARs onhand. His logic was, if we had to comply with something, then we were required to have a copy "in" the tower.
What a moron
