no roster is perfect
I would like to see proper fatigue breaks installed in the shannon roster. none of this one hour on ,10 min off ,then another 2 hours on , crap. That's just abusing the 10 mins accrued time off per hour worked, rule. No fatigue break should be less than 30 mins, which is standard in dub and crk. An earlier finish on both night duties would be great as fatigue sets well in by the end of both nights. the prolonged agony of sitting in position from 8 til 930 pisses most people off. it's definitely the longest 90 mins of the week. the tail end of both night duties is when most incidents/occurences take place as the controllers are well and truly spent. alot of people have difficulty resting and recouperating after the first night duty as they gain their second wind as the morning progresses.
is there any possibility of just one night duty? wishful thinking! I would like to hear what the rest of the ''infidels'' think.
