To answer your question: Tues - Tues with one day off I did about 58 duty hours. But as previously stated the earlies (max 3 in a row) are relatively short 8 hour days; the real killer I find is day 4 when you come from 3 earlies finishing @ 1330ish to start mid-day for either a 6/4 sector (10 hour day) finishing @ 2300ish (if you are on time). This is why I think the way ahead for the company & the fliers (I include the cabin crew deliberately here) is to press as hard as we can for the week of constant earlies followed by the subsequent week of lates.

There are other issues involved in what has been a successful business plan so far; including Staff Travel. But I honestly believe if BALPA & easyJet can sort the MAIN PROBLEM, which is the rostering ie 5 & 3, earlies then lates, the other issues might sort themselves out in a way beneficial to all parties in the long run.

HERES HOPING BUT I COULD BE WRONG!!
