To the rostering people who are considerate and skillful in the organization of hundreds of peoples rosters, this rant was not aimed at you. I know that you are out there, but sadly for me not in my neck of the woods, and I apologize.
However the rostering department I do have to deal with doesn't even look after dozens of crew, let alone hundreds. My face aches from smiling so politely at them only to be met with a frosty stare and total lack of help or sympathy in return.
So now, rather than go and have a big shouty match with them I have taken a deep breath, made myself a cup of tea and spent 2 minutes throwing my toys out of my pram here on pprune in a slightly safer environment than the middle of the fleet office.
Btw groover - taking a pride in the standard and safety of my flying is professional; telling crew that they can't be bothered with their rosters (yes that's what she said) is not.
