Will things change significantly from current practice? I think not. Most of us will have done things other than our usual or preferred duty if requested; unless manning levels take an unexpected upturn I can't see that situation changing. What does slightly concern me, however, as someone who is neither competent at nor enjoys flagging is that under the new system such competence will be assumed.

Availability forms generally have a space for "grade" and another for "usual Duty". Some even ask about your willingness to "undertake other duties.
Maybe they need a space for 'duties you are not willing to undertake'!
