So my question still stands WW. Why do we get the 7th day off every time? I understand that it makes sense from a safety perspective to give someone the day off to rest once a week. But every now and again rostering will get a bit tight or something unexpected will come up yet our ops will still observe the whole 7th day thing religously. No one has ever called me up and said "Look we know it's your seventh day and normally we encourage you to rest but we have this unexpected charter in your area. Since you are the only crew up there can you please help us out? We will get another crew up there tomorrow and you can have a day free from duty then. Please?" I'm just surprised it has not happened at least once.
