Of course this might require FELXIBILITY in management and staffing - and there-in lies the issue I'm sure - it suits the providers to have fixed 8 hour shifts of similar size
Are you suggesting that staff have their rosters altered every 24 hrs to fit the precise number of passengers expected?
I don't know about you but I expect my employer to give me a roster and stick to it for months/years. I'm quite happy to do the odd bit of overtime when it suits me but being told to 'come in on late shift tomorrow instead of early shift' for example, with only 24hrs notice would get tiresome pretty quickly.
