DHK rosters are quite fatiguing at the moment due to lack of pilots. The rosters are everything,....but easy!
May I ask how this is generally handled in the freight business? It is widely agreed that night work requires sensible roster design to make staff stay focused and long term healthy. Some of the accounts given in the freight dog forum seem to point in another direction though: bad rostering and unnecessary fatiguing of staff. Is this representative? I mean, I have friends that are nurses, bus and subway drivers or railroaders, and their shift work seems to be reasonably managed. I find it hard to believe that a hyper-regulated field like aviation could be less considerate in this regard than other jobs?
After all, this matter is not really a question of preferences, there is hard science on how to do this right as well as how to wreck your staff in no time.
