Thrust-bump my apologies obviously your experiences of working with me has affected you.
It has been some years since I worked shifts, and when I did I always believed in allowing my assistants the scope to develope their skills and make decisions. If I had realised that this was too much for you then obviously I wouldn't have let it continue. You only had to say something
Anyway things obviously worked out for you as you have joined the ranks of the aircrew
Back to shifts - those I have spoken to do prefer 12hrs, mainly because of the time off earned. Something else if I may, how does your respective companies calculate your leave?
