Havick are you trying to tell us that you are in your chopper for 8-9 hours BOC with a 1/2 hour turn around in the middle of 2 sectors. Then you get back to your base at 7:00am then sign on again at 7:00 that night for another 8-9 hours flying with the same turnaround. Or while you are waiting for that call-out are you actually able to get some rest during your BOC duty?
For the "International" sectors J* would make you repeat the above scenario for 4 to 5 nights in a row. There is no reserve crew. Usually individuals are contacted on their day off to operate. That pilots will agree to it is another question but the rosters as they are published give you little opportunity for adequate rest. If it was once in a while it would be managable but the Darwin and the Perth crews get a steady stream of BOC. Even the "toughen up princesses" base manager admitted in his email that he was feeling the pinch but that was ok as he just got on with the job.
