In the props we have an amazing rostering system called Crewbid, it rosters you nothing you ask for 100% of the time. Currently Mt Cook has a fortnightly roster and Air Nelson has a 28 day roster. Depends on who you ask as to what is better. Some like knowing what they’re doing 28 days in advance, others like the flexibility of a fortnightly roster to not have to plan so far in advance, however we will all be going to a 28 day roster once we join airlines. No flexibility with your roster in terms of choosing to work month on month off or fortnight on fortnight off. There are limits on how many double overnights you will be able to carry out unless you give your permission to do more. Also, it’s very base specific on how many overnights you will do, some bases get hammered with overnights, some with day duties. Will probably get worse in the next 6 months as the company adds capacity to the Jetstar Regional routes, and the company starts asking us to come back from annual leave and days off to work. However, you do get remunerated if you decide to work on AL or a day off. Overall, if they could sort out Crewbid the rosters would be pretty good
