And yes: it will/may disrupt your roster pattern.
If you have 200 duty days/year and 22 vacation days, does that equal 178 days of engagement in total or are vacation not entirely deducted from the 200 days (if you get what I mean)?
What would a roster look like if you're on part time? Would you still have 6 days ON and then more than 5 days OFF, or would it be less days ON in a row..?
Always being away for 6-7 days in a row might be a deal-breaker for me in the long run, so I'd like to see if there are any ways to mitigate that a little or if it's just something that's part of the deal.
Again many thanks for all your answers, really helpful.
