Sounds to me like a well-aimed letter to your congressman ought to do it. Also find out which congressional oversight group handles these contracts. Fire for effect. The company most likely has an airtight case for the pay issues, but maybe not. It's nice to know that you are willing to put this info out there for others to use. If they are breaking any rules, only congressional intervention can get it fixed. Keep your head down

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)
I wish I could pick and choose which laws I just "felt like" abbiding by, ya know
