Some of the rostering here in EK is frankly shocking.
The West Coast flights are at the moment a 12 hrs time difference followed by 2 days on the ground (used to be 4) then off East.
A few cycles of that and your body is completely shot, your family will be totally fed up with Dad being knackered all the time and there is no respite until you get ill or call in fatigued.
The DEWA cap is a monstrous pineapple insertion but won't kill anyone....the rostering, well I hope not.
We as a family are seriously looking for other options as I have every intention of living after I retire and not expiring on my 60th birthday.
And I am a "Glass half full guy".
