I think that some of you need to check your ops manual. If you are finishing past 23:00 you have not had a legal day off.
You need 2 local nights and 34hrs (please check, these are off the top of my head) for a day off. You cannot go from that late at night to 04:30 in 2 days time.
Say NO!!!!
Do you really think everyone is that stupid and would to along with something so blatantly illegal?
You quote figures which are correct, but you have misinterpreted the situation.
The lates to earlies issue surrounds TWO days off. So, you could be rostered to finish at 2200 on Monday and then start again at 0600 on Thursday i.e. the scheduling agreement minimum of 56 hours at the planning stage (34 is only for a single day). This is worsened though as the SA allows crewing to reduce this to the CAP371 minimum of 54 hours...meaning one could finish at 2359 on the Monday - and still be legal to come in at 0600 on the Thursday!!!!!
