I have to do it in easyJet using the computer at the end of every shift. I don't get many roster changes but resent having to do it.

All those that bleat on about "in this day and age" etc. More fool you for being taken for a ride by your employer.

BA rosters are set in stone, AFAIK they don't have to call crewing at the end of their duty. They can be "Forced Draft" but only if crewing can get hold of them!

That is the key. If you didn't have to check out at the end of every shift crewing would have to get hold of you to notify you of a change. Simple solution - mobile switched off until next rostered duty.

If you want your employer to control your life so be it - I don't and can sympathise with the original poster.

Don't forget BA can generate £400m profit and still run this system. Your employers must be laughing all the way to the bank with their lower crewing costs
