So you are covered for 6 months a year which suits me as can't do more than 90 in UK. The other 6 you are at the mercy of rostering giving you your requested 6 days off (only 4 are guaranteed) or using ULR rest patterns to sneak away for a few days.
Best of luck,

So it can be done, that's great to hear. Do I understand your correctly that you are home every other month for 6 days+days off? So 6 months in the year (let say if you spend your family holiday time in the UK as well).
Please excuse ignorance, but what does "T7" stand for in this case?
Thanks for the info, I'm sure everyone appreciates it.
