After many years of perusing this forum, I feel obliged to actually register and reply to this comment.
I have spent around 25 years flying for two UK airlines, both sadly went bust.
I now find myself at RYR, and I can assure you that the fixed 5/4 roster pattern is excellent for managing fatigue, unlike the variable rosters I had at my previous employers.
There is minimal roster disruption too (again, unlike my previous airlines).
Just wanted to add this to add a bit of perspective to comments I have read.
