The correct hours are actually 2x 12hr shifts and 2x 11.5hrs shifts=(12 Z days) as opposed to the previous Lighthouse calculated 2x 12hr & 2x 10.9 shifts. A breakdown of calculations!
What rosters have been offered up under the current cease fire or calm before the storm.I don't think the solution offered above is the end of this due to what MH goals were in changing the roster in the first place.

My impression that MH wants the Z days out as they are a bourdon on manpower planning/cost and wants a lower shift loading .
So the answer is a roster with a lower average shift loading no Z days.
A 4 on 5 off 12 hour covers the need but has been rejected before as has the 10.9 hour 4 on 4 off.

The threat that MH is willing to drop the MAS contract approx $6 mil a year to save $1.9 mil does not add up so I would not lower my guard yet
