Completely agree. Luckily everybody is different. I’ve never worked with a fixed roster system myself but after leaving Jet2 have come to realise how unbelievable valuable a stable roster is for me to have a quality of life outside work. Even while I was living within 15 minutes from the airport at the time. With my current outfit I’ve had less roster changes in the last 4 years then I had with Jet2 in a week and sometimes even on a day.
Also on the topic of seniority now I’ve experienced a seniority based system I would prefer never to give up that system. The transparency and stability it provides are invaluable to me.
what might suit one might not suit the other.
