Max1: Some of the ALMs seem hellbent on delivering the most 'efficient' rosters that they can devise. They ignore the fact that human beings (not them) have to actually work them.
Yes, they do. On more than one group that had moved to POR compliance rosters because of the expiration of FA coincident with the EBA expiration, EVEN after AsA won in the IRC to continue rostering pre-6am starts, some ALMS have decided not to - even though staff have asked for them - because it means there is no triple acquital (for 1 hour, for 1 person, each day, )

The ALM(s) seems to ignore the fact that most groups voted for a 5am start in order to have someone 'relatively' fresh in the morning rather than the doggo(s) - who has already been awake all night - to sort out the morning push.
