After 5 earlies it's normal/likely that EASY/FR pilots will get minimum 3/4 days afterwards to recover from the early starts. Do you as a train driver have limits on the number of earlies you can do?. Are you scheduled to have just 1 day off or do you have to back for overtime to make ends meet.
I dont do overtime!
The railway industry is shockingly un-regulated.......its totally powered from within. As long as you have 1 day off every 13th day, you could do a 12 hour early shifts in 13 day stints, all year! Granted, you would have to swap shifts to maintain that string of earlies.
Our rostering system is sanctioned by union drivers, who ensure their 'higher order' rosters are looked after.......us rats at the bottom are slaved to dangerous levels.
I spent 5 years within airline ops........I would do anything for a pilots roster!
That is not me putting pilots down, I worship the industry!!
