Strange why discussions on this forum become so aggressive.
The 6 days on going from earlies to lates is realy hard going.

I have been at the recieving end of 4 weeks of this and was burnt out.
I have worked for 2 other companies , scedule, charter amd wet lease.
I would never go back to random roster.
In my last company I went 11 weeks without a weekend off, on a random roster.
The rolling 7 day week would have prevented that happening.
The FTL is the problem.
Companies use the limits as targets without considering short and long term cumulative fatigue on an individual.

I am not based in London area but having been, understand the problems crews have.
Against a market shortage of pilots the company will have to resolve these problems or face failed buisness objectives.

Cosmijewel good luck
Flapsone I understand the thankless job you guys are doing.

I have found the crewing and rostering staff in this company very very pleasent to deal with without exception.
They have such a difficult job to do.

Ultimatly the market will decide for us and it will (barring another 911) benefit us in the short and long term
