Mr Bloggs,
I agree with you on the fatigue issues. The 12hr reserves/18hr FDP are a killer. And it is possible for them to work us much harder without 5-4-3. But my understanding of this is that we would only have 5-4-3 until the end of the interim agreement? As I said many posts ago, I have had my best and WORST rosters under RP04 so I know the weaknesses. I haven't been senior enough to get the great rostering that others have enjoyed. Like any deal, there are good points and bad points. For me the good outweighs the bad...for you the other way around. Thank you for at least arguing with logic...I kinda get sick of the doom and gloom arguments. Fatigue is, and will increasingly become the biggest issue if we become undermanned. Maybe they will do so deliberately to make age 60 look good from a manning point of view...now I am getting paranoid;-)
cheers
PS I think you underestimate the rostering team. They do their own numbers and calculations. I trust the guys doing it...I know by the way my questions were answered that they know this stuff backwards. I can assure you they don't accept at face value what is said to them by management! There was a time when we trusted AOA GC members...
