Thanks

You do the entire 56 day roster as a “blank line” as opposed to the normal “pattern line”.
This will be made up of days off and available days. If you are called on an available day it will generally be for a duty with at least 8 hours notice. Ie the next day.
You can / will also be assigned standby duties on some of those available days which usually last 12hrs. You can be assigned up to three days in a row. During those standbys you are required to leave home within 45minutes AND be available to depart within 3hrs.
Hope that helps!
