WGU,
You are absolutely right and I don't disagree one bit. I am not blaming the company for guys not being able to sleep in the bunk. Sometimes though, the medium chop prevents even the best hibernator catching 40 winks. But....he shouldn't fly back from Aus and then be forced to knob off west 48 hours later due to crap rostering and a total lack of understanding of the real limitations of the human body. He should actually get a chance to recuperate.
There is no reason that anyone should be expected to, say, do a trip to Aus followed by a trip to LGW. A day off and then an early morning call for Delhi followed by an evening trip the next day. Or back to back Osakas. Some of the patterns that are churned out by the system are 'unrestable' and that is down to lack of resources but thats probably another thread or a bigger payrise.
